A major player in the revitalization of Stamford Harbor
Soundwaters, a nonprofit education center in Stamford dedicated to creating broad access to the Long Island Sound, announced plans in spring of 2021 to build the 12,000-square-foot Cohen SoundWaters Harbor Center, which is slated to be completed toward the middle of this year.
“Once this building and this park are open, Stamford Harbor is going to become a destination,” SoundWaters President Leigh Shemitz.
The project is what she called the linchpin of the city”™s revitalization of the surrounding Boccuzzi Park, and will cost about $8 million, with roughly 90% coming from grants and private donors. In keeping with the organization”™s mission, its construction and operation will be as economically responsible as possible. Its construction also includes beach restoration and public access to the water.
