Groundwork Bridgeport, Inc.

Groundwork Bridgeport is a community based organization that was established over 20 years ago by community members with support from the city, the National Park Service, and The Environmental Protection Agency to address environmental justice issues in and work towards the regeneration of Bridgeport, CT, a postindustrial city which fell into decline after losing the manufacturing base that once made it prosper. Groundwork Bridgeport's main goals are to work together with partners and the community to convert blighted areas of the city into green public places through landscape design, green infrastructure, and habitat restoration, and to develop and implement environmental educational, awareness and self-empowerment programs as a means of improving the quality of life of all people in Bridgeport, in particular historically marginalized populations, while also being conscientious stewards of our natural ecosystem.
