    The PSEG Plant, in service from the 1950s to 2021, used to power much of Bridgeport’s business base, but shuttered as the state signaled a move away from fossil fuels. Demolition is expected to occur within a three-year timespan, removing a visible part of the city’s skyline. While the site is expected to be a draw due to its location near the waterfront, officials say environmental remediation is needed.
