Bridgeport Property auctions planned next week
Building lots and two houses owned by the city will be sold in the sixth of a series of property auctions next week.
The auction, with 13 properties on the block, will be conducted at 6:15 p.m. May 3 in City Hall on Lyon Terrace.
Brian Williams, the city’s deputy chief executive officer, said the five previous auctions of surplus city property took place on Saturdays. But city officials decided to hold their next auction on a weekday to avoid competition with auctions on foreclosed properties owned by the federal government.
The goal of the auction is to return properties inherited by the city through foreclosure to the tax list, as well as provide the new owners with a chance to develop housing.
The 13 properties include houses at 6 and 7 Armstrong Place. The other 11 sites are building lots.
For additional information about the auction, contact Williams at 576-8439.
