The West Side and West End neighborhoods have begun the planning process to become a registered Neighborhood Revitalization Zone (NRZ). As an NRZ, the West Side/West End will be eligible for state programs designed to address blight and re-investment in the community.  The planning process will also result in a chartered organization, created to act as the neighborhood's advocate and to implement the goals and projects that result from our immediate planning process. 

We at Zared Enterprises, LLC and the Capstan Group are the professional planning and development consultants selected by the West Side/West End NRZ Selection Committee in November, 2006.  Our work toward the West Side/West End NRZ Proposal is paid for by the City of Bridgeport and the not-for-profit Community Economic Development Fund (CEDF).
