Council to Consider Approval of $37M Construction Contract for Indoor Sports and Recreation Complex
By Julie Perine on August 23, 2019
On Aug. 19, Bridgeport City Council met in special session to pass the first reading of an ordinance that would authorize amendment of bonds relating to financing of the Bridgeport Indoor Sports and Recreation Complex. The purpose, Mayor Andy Lang said, was to set a safety net in place if for any reason the one percent sales tax funding the bonds is eliminated in future years. That way, Lang said, the project will never be a liability to the city’s general fund.
