Solar Park Plan for Contaminated Remington Site

Developers are eyeing a massive 419-acre former Remington Arm site spanning Bridgeport and Shrattford to build an energy park and Nature Preserve. The plan from a team led by East Granby Bay's Kinzley Energy Systems involves slapping a solar setup on 51 acres, packing in a 4MW array plus up to 2250MW battery storage systems. They're teaming up with Middletown's Triad Advanced Energy Development and California's Tri-Tech Americas to make the Lake Success Energy Park a reality. This setup would pump out cash flow to keep the surrounding 368-acre preserve in top shape, complete with a 23-acre Lake, wetlands, and urban woods. The site's got heavy history. Remington Arms Rammy Nicians Manufacturing and Testing there from 1906 right through 1989. Now it's undersporting goods properties, a spin-off from Dupont that's tied to Corteva

No major pushback reported so far. Just early buzz on turning industrial scars into green gold. Word is, this could set a blueprint for cleaning up old factory lands nationwide, blending clean power with public green space for the win.
