Manresa Wilds
Manresa Wilds will unlock 1.75 miles of Norwalk’s waterfront access for the first time in nearly 75 years.
AKRF is providing site assessment/remediation and geotechnical engineering services for the planning and design of this new accessible park and restored shoreline on Manresa Island. The 125-acre peninsula on the Long Island Sound previously housed a 1960s-era oil-fired power plant.
We are supporting Manresa Island Corp. and its design team through remediation strategies meant to revive the site’s coastal ecosystem and preserve its post-industrial landscape.
