Land damaged by Hurricane Ida several years ago will become a new park in Bridgeport Borough. Bridgeport was one of the hardest hit areas during the hurricane, with 300 people evacuated from their homes and about 500 temporarily displaced. The park will sit at the intersection of Front and Depot streets. The borough received the funding as part of the recent dispersal of federal aid money to address damage from Hurricane Ida. Montgomery County received a total of $9 million, and Bridgeport's new park received more than $817,500 of that money. A timeline and more details about the park have not been released publicly.
