Stratford Eyes Private Motel at Bridgeport Airport
Investors propose a 75 to 100 unit motel at Stratford Bridgeport Municipal Airport. Mayor Curran supports the idea but urges caution and a careful process. A committee was named to study the plan. Airport manager Nicholas Mainiero calls it a nearly one million dollar project. Abe Bender of Fairfield, representing private investors, seeks a one year option on airport property near the terminal to package the plans. The 1958 master plan shows space for a motel and the Mayor suggests a letter of intent may suffice.
