Bill > HB06364

This bill calls for conducting a comprehensive feasibility study regarding the potential relocation of two correctional facilities located in New Haven and Bridgeport, Connecticut. Specifically, the study will examine the practicality and potential impacts of moving the New Haven Correctional Center (situated on Whalley Avenue) and the Bridgeport Correctional Center to different sites. The primary motivation for this study is the current proximity of these correctional centers to residential neighborhoods, with the goal of improving local neighborhood conditions. By assessing the potential relocation, the bill aims to explore whether moving these facilities would create better living environments for nearby residents and determine the logistical, financial, and community implications of such a move. The study will likely consider factors such as cost, community impact, infrastructure requirements, and potential benefits to the surrounding neighborhoods.
