The waterfronts of southwest Connecticut, from Bridgeport to Norwalk, Norwalk to Stamford used to be filled with industrial uses—and private homes. Barges navigated the Sound, and factories and power plants filled the landscape. Machines whirred, products were built, and often pollutants were thrown into the waters of the Long Island Sound.
In between were pockets of wealth, waterfront estates that belonged to some of America’s wealthiest families, providing private access to beaches and waterfront views.
But over the past few decades the waterfront has changed. Factories closed. Families sold their properties. Many of these sites have been redeveloped, turning into residential communities, while others are in the middle of being converted into public parks, providing residents new access to the (much cleaner these days) waters of the Long Island Sound. Some projects have moved quickly, while are still in the works. And all of this is occurring while concerns about the effects of climate change to our coasts continue to grow.
Let’s explore the transformation of southwest Connecticut’s waterfront—and peek into the future at what could come next. Visit coastalconnecticuttimes.com for the full article.
