About this Facility

History

The 1761 Route 12 Site in Gales Ferry CT on the Thames River has a long history. Dating back to 1849, it was the terminus for a New York Ferry service where passengers transferred to the Providence and Norwich Railroad for service to Providence, Worcester etc. In the early 1950’s, Dow Chemical purchased the 165-acre site to construct a plant that operated until recently. The site continues to be the New England base of a styrene products manufacturing facility that was initially created through a joint venture of Chevron and Dow Chemical and utilizes about 25 acres of the overall site.

Re-development Plans

The Cashman companies specialize in marine construction, marine equipment, renewable energy and associated industries and have demonstrated experience in revitalizing abandoned or underutilized marine industrial facilities in the Northeast. The Gales Ferry Intermodal facility is in a strategic location for Cashman as it is situated between the marine facilities it owns and operates in Quincy Massachusetts and Staten Island NY and will be able to service the needs of many marine operations in Connecticut on or near the Thames River and of several proposed offshore wind generation projects that will be developed in waters from Massachusetts to New York/New Jersey.
