NEW LONDON — The city is seeking a construction manager for its Water Street Garage expansion. Proposals are due at 2:30 p.m. December 1 under the city’s October 28 solicitation.
Felix Reyes, the city’s development director, told a local reporter the project would add 200–250 spaces and the garage would stay open during construction. Part of the ground level is slated to become a transit hub, reducing the space available for parking on that level, the newspaper reported.
The city’s bid documents anticipate construction starting in summer 2027 and lasting 12 to 18 months. That would put the additional spaces in service after the National Coast Guard Museum opens. The solicitation lists August 2027 as the museum’s expected opening.
