Grunt - launch Connect and Express server on the same port

I am new when it comes to Grunt, and I am curious if it is possible to run both servers on the same port at the same time. I have problems with this already ... the problem is probably in the Grunt file.

I use grunt-contrib-connect and grunt-express-server for related functions. Ideally, what happens is one grunt serverthat will deploy the connection server, download in stream, and express server.

My grunt file is below. Thanks!!

'use strict';

module.exports = function (grunt) {
  require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt);
