Former Bridgeport Stop & Shop Building Faces Foreclosure: Report

BRIDGEPORT, CT — Simcove, the company developing a former Bridgeport Stop & Shop into a self-storage facility, is facing foreclosure on the building for back taxes, the Connecticut Post reported.

Back taxes owed on the building, located at 2600 Madison Ave. in Bridgeport's North End, reportedly total more than $378,000. The city has imposed liens on the property, which reportedly were sold to a company named Tower DB XII Trust.

Attorneys for Simcove reportedly dispute the foreclosure amount, claiming that some back taxes have been paid.

Simcove's principal, Hugh Scott, is scheduled to ask the Bridgeport Planning and Zoning Commission on Monday for a one-year extension on the special permit to construct the self-storage site.
