Manresa Wilds: Billionaire couple bought a $40 million abandoned power plant site. Now they are spending $410 million turning it into a public park - The Economic Times
Austin and Allison McChord purchased an abandoned power plant in Norwalk with plans for transformation. Their vision includes creating a public park named Manresa Wilds over 125 acres of land. The project aims to restore natural habitats while providing recreational spaces such as trails and a community pool. Despite community concerns leading to some reduced plans, significant progress is anticipated by 2027.
