Planners Back Plea for More Fireside Units
The Bridgeport Planning Commission voted three to one to back Bridgeport Housing Authority plans for a 102 unit addition to the Fireside Apartments senior housing project. Herbert C. Mills dissented, arguing public housing should not expand and vacancies would rise if income ceilings had been maintained. The plan awaits approval from two city boards, with BHA citing rising housing demand from redevelopment and Route 25 work. Plans call for one story units adjoining the existing Fireside complex near Hillside Hospital and Bullard-Havens. The BHA reports a waiting list of about 500 seniors.
