Bridgeport, CT – Mayor Ganim issued a statement following the death of Lowell Weicker:

“I am deeply saddened by the passing of former Governor Lowell Weicker. I had the honor to work with then Governor Weicker during the early 90s and am proud that many of our efforts have led to continued success today. Governor Weicker was integral in relocating Housatonic Community College from Barnum Avenue to downtown where it has thrived, in moving State Police Troop G station to downtown Bridgeport to allow more access and collaboration between local and state law enforcement, and in establishing the Beardsley Zoo as a State asset. I offer my sincere condolences to Governor Weicker’s family. I know that his contributions to our state will continue to benefit generations to come.”
