Warner Moves to Spur Industries in Bridgeport
Chamber of Commerce officials promote Bridgeport as a favorable site for new plants. Secretary Robert Crosby persuaded executives to visit the vacated Whiting plant and compare incentives. Bridgeport offered water, freight, power, and rent advantages plus cheaper housing for workers, prompting a five year lease with buy option. Similar moves illustrate the city’s industrial appeal near the metropolitan area. Progress Week plans to funnel profits into an industrial bureau, whose impact remains undecided by chamber leaders.
