Town Council Special Joint Meeting - September 24, 2026

The Town of Stratford held a special joint meeting on September 24, 2026, involving the Town Council, Traffic Authority, and other commissions to discuss the master plan for the redevelopment of the former Stratford Army Engine Plant site. The meeting featured a detailed presentation by the property owners, Point Stratford Renewal LLC, and their consultants outlining the progress on site remediation, demolition, and coastal resiliency efforts. The plan envisions transforming the 77-acre waterfront brownfield into a mixed-use community with residential, commercial, recreational, and cultural amenities, emphasizing public waterfront access, economic development, and climate resilience. The developers aim to submit a General Development Master Plan (GDMP) by December 2026 to initiate formal review and zoning processes. Discussions included traffic impact studies, parking accommodations, and potential uses for a separate parcel near the airport. The meeting concluded with motions to adjourn by the various bodies. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this session, but the presentation and discussion set the stage for future development-related procurement and planning activities.
