Sen. Tony Hwang (R-Fairfield) today applauded the announcement of a $3,000,000 state grant to remediate the vacant 4.9-acre, former Bullard Machine Tool Company site at 81 Black Rock Turnpike.
This project will enable a transit-oriented development/mixed-use development that will include 240 residential units (including 20% affordable at 80% area median income), ancillary retail, co-working, and public amenity space.
“Cleaning up this site and putting it to productive use is a win-win situation for Fairfield,” Sen. Hwang said. “This project is good for the environment, it will create jobs, and it will create new and affordable housing with an emphasis on transit-oriented development. This is a significant grant award, and we appreciate the governor’s attention to Fairfield.”
The funds come from the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development’s Brownfield Remediation and Development Program.

On the morning of July 12, 2023, two Norwalk residents were taken into custody following their involvement in several cases of burglary, robbery, and home invasion.
On May 22, 2023, a residence on Lexington Avenue was burglarized, cash was taken, and a television and other items were damaged. A report was filed with the Norwalk Police Department on the following day. On May 24, 2023, a home invasion occurred at the same address and was reported to investigators the next day. During this incident, two men entered the residence, and cash was taken at gunpoint, as well as a jacket. Detective Nyquist assumed the investigation of both incidents and worked quickly to develop leads and identify suspects. On July 8, 2023, a second home invasion occurred at the same address and was reported immediately after. During this incident, two suspects entered the home, one armed with a
handgun and cash were taken after the victim was struck in the head with a handgun.
Detective Ribisl was assigned to the July 8 incident.
Investigators Nyquist and Ribisl quickly identified that one of the suspects was involved in both home invasions. Their month-long intensive work on the separate cases resulted in search warrants and arrest warrants for the two identified suspects, Joseph de Jesus Tiburcio Nunez and Aneudy Martinez. The arrest and search warrants were executed during the early morning hours of July 12, 2023, by the Norwalk Police Department’s Detective Bureau and Tactical Response
Team, at the two respective residences of the suspects. This investigation remains open and active, and the investigators request that anyone with information contact them directly.
