(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Dannel P.

Redeker in evaluating proposals for the redevelopment of the Stamford Transportation Center’s parking garage and providing guidance in ensuring that the redevelopment best reflects local priorities and the needs of the community.

“As a former mayor of the city, I understand that Stamford is uniquely positioned, and that both residents and businesses alike highly depend on the region’s transportation system for their every day needs,” Governor Malloy said.  “Whatever decision is made by the Commissioner on the redevelopment of the Stamford Transportation Center parking garage site, it needs to reflect both the state’s long term transportation goals as well as the city’s and commuting public’s priorities.  In addition to the suggestions and comments that we are inviting the general public to submit, these five stakeholders will ensure that local voices are heard while these important decisions are being made.”

In addition to the five volunteers, Commissioner Redeker is also soliciting input from members of the general public who have opinions or want to provide suggestions on the project.  Those comments should be emailed to DOT.StamfordTOD@ct.gov.
