Feds try again to sell Stratford Army plant

The federal government has put a closed Army engine manufacturing plant in Stratford back on the auction block, The Associated Press reports.

The closing date for the third attempt to sell the 78-acre contaminated property is June 30.

A spokeswoman for the General Services Administration tells The Connecticut Post the agency received two bids for the property earlier this year, but both fell short of bidding requirements and were declined.

The GSA agreed to sell the site along the Housatonic River for $9.6 million in 2008 to a developer who wanted to turn the site into a movie studio. The deal collapsed because investors couldn’t secure enough funding.
