U.S. Rep. Jim Himes (D-4th District) spoke at the ribbon-cutting ceremony formally announcing the completion of the energy-efficiency upgrades and renovation projects.
"I am pleased to join the individuals and organizations that made this extensive renovation possible today to celebrate its completion,” Himes said.
“This project means that Bayview residents will continue to have access to affordable and now updated and energy-efficient housing to support their lives, families, and the Stamford community. It also serves as a fine example of the work that can be accomplished when federal, state, and local governments and private entities partner to support our communities and our people.”
He was joined by Stamford Mayor David Martin and others involved in the project, including Connecticut Department of Housing Commissioner Evonne Klein and Connecticut Housing Finance Authority Executive Director Eric Chapman.
“The city of Stamford made an important decision to continue to support the Bayview community, and I am pleased with the cooperation of the many government and private entities that made this effort a success,” Martin said. “This is a much-needed improvement for the residents of Bayview and for our Stamford community.”
Richard Burns, CEO of NHP Foundation echoed this view.
“The Bayview Towers renovation exemplifies our vision for the long-term preservation of affordable housing in high cost markets,” Burns said
The renovation of the 41-year old towers included full indoor remodeling and upgrades, energy-efficient lighting and appliance installation as well as renovations to the plumbing, electrical, and elevator systems.
The project was carried out by the NHP Foundation in partnership with the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority, PNC Bank, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Connecticut Light & Power, and the City of Stamford.
