Meet David Kooris.

Fairfield native David Kooris was tapped by Gov. Ned Lamont last July to launch a new quasi-public agency armed with $60 million to incentivize multifamily housing development around mass-transit hubs and downtowns.

As of mid-April, a dozen Connecticut cities and towns had officially signed up to partner with the Connecticut Municipal Development Authority (CMDA).

The agency can help municipalities update their zoning regulations, and then offer funding for related infrastructure work, as well as low-cost financing for developers.

Kooris said he expects to begin deploying project funding before the close of this year.
