Municipality where proposed action is located: Bridgeport

Connecticut Environmental Policy Act (CEPA) Determination: On October 18, 2022, the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) published a Notice of Scoping to solicit public comments for this proposed Steelpointe Harbor - Mixed-Use Development Project in the Environmental Monitor.  No CEPA Scoping meeting was scheduled, and there were no requests to hold a CEPA scoping meeting.

Comments were submitted by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CTDEEP) during the public comment period. DECD’s responses to the comments received are included in the Environmental Review Checklist.

After consideration of the comments received, the DECD has determined the project does not require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Evaluation (EIE) under the CEPA.  DECD's conclusion is documented in a Memo of Findings and Determination and an Environmental Review Checklist.
