STAMFORD, Conn. (CBSNewYork) – A patch of vacant land in downtown Stamford may finally be developed.
As WCBS 880’s Paul Murnane reported, the lot that’s sat empty for more than 40 years and has been nicknamed “the hole in the ground” has been acquired by Stamford-based F.D. Rich Company.
The 4.3-acre site could feature mixed-use development, including 800 units of housing, a hotel and retail, Murnane reported.
