How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['Replaces/avoids GHGs (e.g., projects that replace sources of GHGs, such as the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, transport, or other energy uses)', 'Reduces GHGs (e.g., projects that reduce sources of GHGs, such as through efficiency or other changes in consumption)', 'Removes/stores GHGs (e.g., projects that capture, sequester, or otherwise enhance the "sinks" that accumulate and store GHGs)']

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

The initial deployment site’s location aligns with the vision of creating an “innovation corridor” in Bridgeport. This concept involves leveraging the innovation and placemaking assets of smaller cities and towns to create broad-based growth across a geographic region. The establishment of CCM’s facility could serve as a
cornerstone for this innovation corridor, attracting similar businesses and fostering a collaborative
environment for clean energy innovation.

The impact of establishing a clean energy manufacturing facility at this site would extend beyond the
immediate area. It could have a positive effect on the disadvantaged community of Bridgeport and its
surrounding areas. The creation of jobs and stimulation of economic activity could provide a much needed
boost to these communities. Furthermore, the development of new clean energy technologies will
have broader environmental benefits, contributing to cleaner air and water in the local area. The establishment of this facility would not only advance CCM’s mission but also contribute to the
economic revitalization and sustainable future of Bridgeport and serve as a model for cities around the
nation.
