Bridgeport Jai Alai Promoter Doubts City Referendum
David Friend of Connecticut Sports Enterprises says a citywide referendum on building a Bridgeport jai alai fronton is unlikely, needing 3400 signatures. He outlines jobs, tax benefits, and area revitalization, with plans for a 7.5 million building and 150 full-time plus 66 to 700 part-time workers, prioritizing Bridgeport residents. The project faces opposition from Alderman and church leaders who push for a referendum and 3409 signatures within 30 days to force the vote. The Gaming Commission will review CSE’s application after staff examination.
