Demolition Of 130 Freight Street
February 25, 2021A manufacturing site in the 1800's, the site was home Waterbury, American, and Anaconda Brass Companies.
I'm thrilled to report the City of Waterbury received a $1.5M Urban Act Grant through CT DECD towards the demolition of the remaining buildings on the lot.
More recently, the site housed a former hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility (Environmental Waste Resources) and Phoenix Soils, which was a Connecticut regulated waste treatment and soil remediation facility.
The City took ownership of the site in Oct. 2020, allowing the City/WDC to proceed with demolition work and eventual redevelopment of the site.
I look forward to the site's rehabilitation and bringing it back to productive uses.
