The project takes its name from the nickname of Bridgeport, Connecticut, where a offshore wind port is being developed to support the project at Bridgeport Harbor.[2][3][4] Electric transmission cables from the project will make an underground landfall at Craigville Beach in Barnstable, Massachusetts.

As of 2022 a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) and a construction and operations plan (COP) had been submitted to BOEM.[5] It is projected to be commissioned in 2027.[6]
