Maria Zambrano Viggiano (D)A lack of economic development which leads to chronic joblessness among residents, generational poverty, and high property taxes. To address this I would: 1) Address the concerns of small business owners such that they have the support they need to grow their businesses in the city 2) Work with my fellow Council members, the Mayor, and his staff to recruit businesses to Bridgeport 3) Research national best practices and programs for workforce development and re-entry employment 4) Build relationships with Bridgeport chambers of commerce and host job fairs and trainings to connect residents to existing job opportunities 5) Continue my learning in the field of urban economic development and study success stories from other cities across the country to then apply them to Bridgeport |
