small local food businesses.”Proponents of the text amendment said, “this is an exciting and much-needed initiative here in Bridgeport. Low-cost and entry-level kitchen space is not currently available to food entrepreneurs in the area, and the passage of this amendment is a huge victory in fostering a growing, vibrant food culture.”
Currently, there is a waiting list of 12 entrepreneurs who are excited to be able to take the first, attainable step into growing their business.”
