Waterbury Development Corporation 2012-2013 Annual Report
Waterbury Development Corporation 83 Bank Street 3rd Floor Waterbury, CT 06702 2012 Annual Report 1
It is with great pleasure that I offer this report on the operations of the Waterbury Development Corporation (WDC) for 2012-2013. As you will see, this organization’s efforts remain at the heart of a vast range of economic and community development activities on behalf of the City.
While this past year has seen its share of challenges, the pages that follow also represent an amazing story of success as we work together to build Waterbury’s future.
I am honored to have joined this organization in May and to serve as its new Chief Executive Officer. I view the progress of this past year as a testament to the support and involvement of our Board of Directors and key City stakeholders, an extraordinary team here at the WDC, and of course to the leadership of my predecessor Leo Frank.
I would ask that you take particular notice of the Community Impact Map on page 4. While this report provides a narrative of the various activities of our organization, I believe that this map is a powerful reminder of the incredible breadth and scale of WDC’s engagement in partnership with the City of Waterbury.
As a key partner in creating a stronger business base, more vibrant neighborhoods and a better quality of life for our City’s residents, I look forward to the opportunity of building an even stronger and more effective organization in the year ahead.
Sincerely,
Kevin M. DelGobbo Waterbury Development Corporation Chief Executive Officer

Waterbury Development Corporation Profile
The Waterbury Development Corporation (WDC) is the City of Waterbury’s designated economic and community development agency. The Corporation was founded as a partnership of the public and private sectors to help the City of Waterbury, its businesses, and its residents revitalize their city, stimulate and support economic development, promote investment in education, rehabilitate and maintain the city's housing stock, eliminate urban blight and decay, manage construction projects, and improve the overall quality of life. WDC is governed by a Board of Directors. All projects and contractual obligations are reviewed and approved by the Board. The Board consists of 23 members. The composition is dictated by City Ordinance. The members are a combination of Alderman, The Mayor or his designee, members of community groups, the NAACP and representatives from various business interests. The Board meets monthly and the meetings are open to the public. In order to better serve the City, the WDC is organized into four groups: Business Growth Group (BGG) - The BGG manages projects and programs that are designed to advance the City’s business economy. Areas of specialization include marketing, business attraction and retention, site selection assistance, and the coordination of local and state resources. The group also administers loan funds, as well as two (2) local tax abatement programs. Project Management Group (PMG) - The PMG directs a number of state and municipally funded construction projects in Waterbury and acts as the city’s “Office of Brownfield Remediation”. As directors of city construction projects, the PMG oversees the construction time schedule, confirms the construction is in accordance with design, and accounts for the financial budgets. The group also coordinates with the Neighborhood Re-Investment group to manage community-based construction projects funded by the Community Development Block Grant program. Neighborhood Re-Investment Group (NRG) - The NRG manages projects and programs that promote city housing, community development and improvements to neighborhood quality of life. The Group administers the city's U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Entitlement funds, including the Community Development Block Grant program (CDBG), the Emergency Shelter Grant program (ESG), and the Home Investments Partnership’s program (HOME) and other HUD grants. The NRG also works with neighborhood organizations to apply for grants that support community initiatives and provide technical assistance to their organizations. Administration Group - The Administration Group is responsible for the overall organization and function of WDC. The priority of the Administration Group is to establish performance measurements and action plans for all employees, maintain fiscal and budget operations, and sustain seamless relationships between WDC staff, our clients, and our community.

General Projects
New School Construction Program
Beginning in 2005 the WDC has assisted the Waterbury Board of Education with site selection, acquisition, and relocation activities as they relate to the New School Construction Program (the program). Since the program’s inception three neighborhood Pre K- 8 elementary schools have opened and Carrington the fourth Pre K- 8 is scheduled to open in September of 2013 in the City’s Bunker Hill Neighborhood.
WDC assisted with the acquisition of fourteen vacant parcels and 5 occupied residential homes required to form the 14 acre site for the Waterbury Career Academy High School. This 145,000SF state of the art school focused to Human Services, Health Services, Engineering Technology and Computer fields will open to Waterbury students in September of 2013. The impressive structure is perched high on a hill overlooking the City with breathtaking views down the Naugatuck Valley and over to Middlebury.
St. Patrick’s Hall (The Rectory) – 110 East Main Street
Over the past several years WDC has collaborated with UConn Waterbury to develop a specific program for the rehabilitation and interior fit out of the historic Rectory building. The location, directly across from the bustling Waterbury branch is a logical choice for classroom expansion. An RFP was issued for design/construction documents and was awarded to WASA/Studio A. The responses from an Invitation to Bid for actual construction are due by the end of August. These responses will establish a final project budget. It is envisioned that the 22,540 SF structure will house a coffee shop on its first level and classroom, meeting and faculty space on the three additional upper floors.
The introduction of the Rectory into the East Main Street market will further the momentum created by the renovation of the adjacent historic Palace Theater, The Arts Magnet School and UConn Waterbury.
Municipal Stadium – Phase III
The Municipal Stadium Renovation Project Phase III will result in the wholesale renovation of the historic granite grandstand structure. Improvements will include the following:
2012 Annual Report 6
• Complete replacement of Stadium decking, seating areas, ADA Compliance • Restoration of original granite exterior • New Locker rooms, spectator bathrooms, ticketing areas • New backstop, dugouts, scoreboard, PA System
In September of 2012 the City of Waterbury entered into contract with Banton Construction to perform the prescribed renovation work to the Stadium. Renovations began in the fall of that year and it is anticipated they will be completed in 2014.
SNET Building Demolition
Located at a major gateway to the City’s Downtown is the long vacant former SNET building at 333 Meadow Street. The structure is located adjacent to the City’s rail platform and in the shadow of one of the most iconic structures in the City, the Republican American clock tower. This location has previously been studied as the preferred location of an Intermodal Transportation Center.
With the assistance of the State Department of Transportation (DOT) the building’s owner, The State Bond Commission approved funding in the amount of $1.7 Million for the demolition of the building and other site improvements. Additionally the City secured $625,000.00 to supplement the budget to complete site improvements including:
• Surface Parking for 50 vehicles • Baggage claim renovations including public restrooms, ticketing, and office space • Landscaping & Signage Improvements
The demolition plans and specifications are complete and awaiting DOT review and approval. Once approval is received the demolition will be put out for competitive bid. It is anticipated that demolition will be complete by November of 2013. Indicated site improvements will follow in the spring of 2014.
Waterbury Industrial Commons
The 30-acre site located on the Thomaston Waterbury town line has been undergoing site remediation, selective building demolition and renovation since 2008. A portion of the site was originally envisioned to become home to the City’s Consolidated Public Works facility. Under the leadership and guidance of Mayor Neil M. O’Leary the portion of the site once slated to become the home to the DPW facility will be positioned to become a
Waterbury Industrial Commons
2012 Annual Report 7 developable area for additional economic and industrial development.
The Waterbury Development Corporation is under contract with the City of Waterbury to be the Program Manager to guide the rehabilitation of the site. Demolition of the power house structure and renovations to 18,000 SF of the building have been completed and Standard Demolition will begin renovations to an additional 48,000 SF of the remaining building in August of 2013.
The WDC with the assistance of the Office of Corporation Counsel for the City of Waterbury has secured long-term leases with tenants located in the 400,000 SF portions of the building to remain. The mix of tenants includes over 200 employees in various manufacturing trades. The anchor tenant, Luvata a world leader in the production of precision wire has agreed to remain in the building and expand into the newly renovated 18,000 SF and into the future renovated 48,000 SF area. Additionally a new office building will be constructed for Luvata to relocate their office and meeting spaces on the eastern side of the building fronting Thomaston Avenue.
The project is being funded through a Department of Defense Grant and City of Waterbury Municipal Bond funding. The completed project will become the City‘s premier industrial park fostering continued growth in the industrial sector and contributing to the growth of the City’s Grand List. All site remediation and renovation work is anticipated to be complete in early 2015.

CDBG Projects
Targeted CDBG projects completed in the program year ending on October 1, 2012 (CD 37) continued to meet priority needs throughout City of Waterbury by providing needed infrastructure upgrades to both City and Nonprofit owned facilities in order to provide an increased or renewed level of service to the citizens of Waterbury. Funds were spent on an array of projects such as: park improvements for the youth, sidewalk improvements around the new neighborhood schools, another greenhouse project, this one in the south end, to help feed the needy, needed roof repairs to the Silas Bronson Library which is home to several nonprofit agencies and serves the homeless during the day, fire station improvements to correct code issues and maintain pride in facilities which often act as neighborhood anchors, façade improvements for highly visible neighborhood buildings to restore neighborhood pride and offer incentives for existing and prospective businesses and the planning of a community center expansion which will include increased parking and recreation options for elderly and youth clientele of the Saint Margaret/Willow Plaza NRZ, Inc.
The projects met the City’s objectives and played a part in taking one more step towards fulfilling the defined goal. Although there were some projects that have been slow in getting off the ground, most are on their way in the right direction. Public facilities, community centers and parks were improved, sidewalks in blighted neighborhoods constructed, blighted buildings demolished, unsafe neighborhood buildings boarded up and secured, homes rehabilitated, shelters and social service agencies supported. These have all met with support and appreciation from residents and neighborhoods and have been a success. However, equally as important during the last year is the City’s progress in re-evaluating its attitudes, practices and direction in terms of where it wants to go and how it can best get there in the future.
NRZ Community Development: The goal of this project was to fund neighborhood improvement projects proposed by neighborhood associations in low-moderate income areas that were state-recognized Neighborhood Revitalization Zones and were also 501 c.3 organizations. St. Margaret’s/Willow Plaza NRZ acquired one of the adjacent lots by City Auction with Non-Federal Funds and purchased the second lot, providing Willow Street frontage, with private funds. After ownership of both adjoining lots was established an RFQ was advertised for architectural and construction administration services which was awarded in the spring 2011 to Milone and MacBroom, Inc. The project was completed in August of 2013.
Fire Station Improvements The final phase of the Baldwin Street Firehouse was completed this year. A total of $11,988.51 in CDBG funds was spent on architectural/engineering services. This final phase which consists of correcting additional fire code violations, renovating bathroom
2012 Annual Report 9 and kitchen facilities, installing a sidewalk access lift for the basement, which is used as the Departments main storage facility, and site improvements to the rear parking lot was awarded to T&T Electrical Contractors. This Firehouse is now fully renovated, code compliant, and functional as the Department’s main storage facility. All phases of renovations were done in an historic manner appropriate to the age and history of the structure. With the exception of the City Hall based Firehouse, the Baldwin Street Firehouse boasts the most energy efficient and modernized systems.
This year also saw the first phase of the Willow Street Firehouse renovation start. The Department hopes to follow the blue print from the phased Baldwin Street Firehouse renovation on its other aged buildings with the Willow House being the next in line based on the historic aspects of the building, the level of needed renovations and the proximity to other investments in the Willow/Plaza neighborhood. The first phase of the project, which consisted primarily of window and door replacements with a few other exterior improvements. The project was bid out and awarded to North East Contractors, LLC and is expected to be completed by the end of 2013. The next design phase, which will be bid out via RFQ, is intended to make all needed interior improvements, including correction of code violations and modernizing of building systems. It is anticipated that the interior renovations can be done in one phase based on the size of the building and the amount of available funds for the project.
Neighborhood Park Improvements
The Pearl Street Park project, which is intended to fully overhaul the park, was challenged by the discovery of needed environmental remediation based on a limited phase one study that was paid for with brownfield grants. Based on the anticipated expansion a brownfield assessment grant handled by WDC’s Project Management Group (PMG) was tapped into for the phase one study that turned up pollutants in the park. Additional studies were undertaken which have concluded in both an Environmental Conditions Assessment Form (ECAF) and Remedial Action Plan (RAP) being submitted to the State Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) by Lorerio Engineering Associates (LEA) on the City’s behalf. LEA has been paid $55,173.00 for their efforts to date and will continue to serve on the project team and the designer of the RAP and park amenities plan as the Construction Administrator and the Environmental Consultant in order to make sure the construction is being done in conjunction with the environmental specifications of the eventual construction contract. Both the ECAF and RAP required public comment periods, which have unfortunately put construction off until next spring. We anticipate the first phase of the project to be completed by the end of August 2013. This park is in a depressed neighborhood that has many interested project stakeholders. These stakeholders see the park rebuild as the potential start to a neighborhood wide revitalization.
2012 Annual Report 10
The City Mills Park Project was awarded $204,445. City Mills Park is one of the City’s heavily used baseball / softball fields and was fortunate enough to have had a new lighting system installed only 2 years prior to the CDBG grant award. Based on the location of the new light poles and the fact that the field often floods because of its location next to a reservoir fed riverbed the specifications needed to realign the field precisely. In addition to the field realignment extensive drainage work is being done to help alleviate the potential for flooding and the fence line is being cleared of over grown brush and trees while new fencing is being installed as needed to fully enclose the field. The project was completed in November of 2012.
Sidewalk Improvements: The targeted sidewalk reconstruction effort continued in the areas of the City’s new or rehabilitated K-8 neighborhood schools in an effort to promote walking to school as a safe and healthy option. A total of $144,973.05 was paid to GEG Construction for sidewalks in both the Duggan and Rev. Reed school areas. Birm-1 Construction completed two separate sidewalk phases this past program year, first in the Gilmartin School area for a total of $13,222.24 and secondly in the Rev. Reed school area for a total of $151,205.08.
Neighborhood Facilities
Brass City Harvest continued its mission of encouraging self-sufficiency and healthy lifestyle choices for low income, at-risk populations through collaborative partnerships, supportive human services and a sustainable community food system by substantially completing their second neighborhood greenhouse facility during the program year. The Mill Street Greenhouse project was completed in phases with the site work of the lot, including environmental remediation efforts, being done first then the construction of the prefabricated greenhouse structure and hoop houses done second. This facility is large enough to house a demonstration kitchen where staff and volunteers teach clients how to prepare the produce in a healthy manner. The facility also doubles as a classroom space and meeting space for neighborhood groups and school programs.
Police Activity League Park WDC’s Program Management Group (PMG) has overseen both the testing and cleanup phases of the project which are now complete. The cleanup phase of the project was expanded to bring the project area to a condition where it is ready to receive the courts. By increasing the scope of the cleanup phase to include the needed site work for court preparation PAL was able to enjoy some economic benefits since the contractor was already on site. The court construction portion of the project has now been bid out with two construction methods, traditional blacktop and a post tensioned concrete. PAL has reviewed the different bids and is attempting to find the additional funds to go with the post tensioned concrete court method as it has a longer guarantee and has proved to require far less maintenance.
The Waterbury Opportunities Industrialization Center (WOIC) Waterbury Opportunities Industrialization Center, Inc. (WOIC) was awarded $95,600.00 to improve
2012 Annual Report 11 the basement level of the Joseph Jaynes Center. The Joseph Jaynes Center is a non-profit that has benefited this neighborhood by providing job training and employment preparation programs to poor and low-income populations for nearly forty years.
The project, which was completed in the first half of 2013, turns the 6,000 square foot lower level into classrooms, offices and a training area for Waterbury Construction Careers Program. The building also has new lighting and flooring throughout, alleviates space constraints on the upper floor and allows for expanded programmatic opportunities.
The Silas Bronson Library was awarded funds for a roof project in CD Year 37. Parts of the funds were expended to overhaul the roof, which resulted in the re-issuing of an expired warranty. The roof is now fully water tight protecting the library’s books and equipment from any leaks. The library is a valuable asset in the City of Waterbury not only providing educational enrichment to the citizens but allowing internet access to the under and unemployed who are seeking employment, providing space for social service programs such as Literacy Volunteers, and providing a respite for some of the homeless population to gather in inclement weather.
In the current program year that ends September 30, 3013, the following projects received CDBG Funds:
River Baldwin Basketball Court Hopeville Park Sidewalk Improvements - Reed School Area Loyola Development Housing Rehabilitation Program Police Activity League - Park Phase II Silas Bronson Library – Windows Phase I Demolition Fire Station Improvements - Station 5

HOME Program
This year the HOME Program concentrated on the development of larger projects developed mostly by non-profit organizations and CHDOs (Community Housing Development Organizations). The WDC’s Housing and Community Planning Director and the HOME Manager continued to work with non-profits on moving their projects forward. These projects will provide various types of housing to help meet the housing needs of the City. The following are the projects currently being developed or under construction.
Hearth Homes of Waterbury, Inc.’s Hearth Homes Project is the new construction of 41 units of supportive elderly housing for individuals whose incomes fall at or below 50% of Median Family Income (MFI), one of the City’s populations most in need. The project will include connecting Hearth Homes to Grace Eldercare to provide easy access to the community center without having to leave the building. Construction of Hearth Homes began in Hearth Homes Groundbreaking July 2012 and is anticipated to be complete by the end of October 2013. The project is funded with HUD Section 202 monies, State and City HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds and Housing Tax Credit Contribution (HTCC) monies.
The Mutual Housing Association of South Central CT (MHASCC) dba NeighborWorks New Horizons (NWNH) - Through a grant from the Harold Webster Smith Foundation (HWSF), NWNH has established the Waterbury Community Investment, LLC (WCI), a non-profit 501(c)(3) subsidiary of NWNH. WCI will be the lead in this neighborhood revitalization effort. NWNH’s project includes the rehabilitation of five two-unit properties located downtown on Gaffney Place and Central Avenue. The Gaffney Place revitalization project involves the acquisition and rehabilitation of four neglected investor owned properties and 1 foreclosed property. All five properties will require substantial renovations to make them decent, safe and affordable.

Neighborhood Housing Services of Waterbury (NHSW) – This June NHSW broke ground on their 885 North Main Street Project for the new construction of 10 affordable town house style rental units located in the North End Neighborhood, one of the City’s targeted areas. The project will consist of ten three bedroom apartments that will house families with incomes at or below 50% of MFI. In addition to City HOME funds the project is being leveraged with funding from DECD, the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority’s Housing Tax Credit Contribution Program and NeighborWorks America. Each apartment will have high efficiency gas heat and hot water and modern windows and use insulation techniques that will ensure maximum energy efficiency. The residents will benefit from these techniques by paying lower utility costs making the units more affordable for them. It will be a great addition to the neighborhood providing new affordable housing for families located near the new school and PAL facilities.
Francis Xavier Plaza, Inc.’s Francis Xavier Plaza – Francis Xavier Plaza is the rehabilitation of the St. Francis Xavier School located on Baldwin Street in the targeted South End Neighborhood. The rehabilitation will convert the school into 20 units of affordable and supportive housing. Ten of the units will help address the growing number of chronically homeless with mental health needs and young adults aging out of the Department of Children and Families system, while the other half of the units will be marketed as affordable housing to families and individuals with incomes at or below 50% of the area median income. Francis Xavier’s partnerships with the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) and the Department of Social Services (DSS) will provide the assistance needed for the supportive component and give the individuals and families the tools needed to succeed. Funding for the project was received from CHFA’s Next Steps program as well as the City’s HOME Program. Construction began in June 2013.
Brookside Cooperatives – We continue to work with Brookside Cooperatives located at 140 Fulkerson Drive, the State’s largest permanently affordable cooperatively owned housing. The project, which consists of 102 two, three and four bedrooms units resembling condominiums with six individual co-ops, was built with State Department of Housing monies in 1991. The project will address the need for major repairs, which will help keep the units affordable. Brookside Cooperatives applied for and was awarded State Housing Rehabilitation and Preservation (SHRP) funding from CHFA and are currently in the process of applying for City HOME funds needed for the gap financing.

Neighborhood Stabilization Program
The City of Waterbury has been granted a direct allocation of $1,036,101 of Neighborhood Stabilization Program 3 (NSP3) funds to continue NSP eligible activities. This amount has been augmented by the State of Connecticut who provided the City with an additional $481,390 to bring the total of NSP3 funds to $1,517,491. The local NSP3 program will focus on the North End Neighborhood surrounding the new Rev. Reed School. Changes have been made to the local program based on lessons from NSP1, most notably, a program wide change of focusing on a single target area of the North End which is also a target area in the Consolidated Plan and Annual plan with a micro target area of the streets that the new Rev. Reed School will draw its students from. Targeting was encouraged under NSP1 but was legislated in NSP3; this change will focus housing investment in an already targeted area and has the potential to make a much larger impact in a smaller area as opposed to NSP1.
An RFP for a developer to handle the rental side of NSP3 was advertised and Neighborhood Housing Services of Waterbury (NHS) was selected. Unfortunately, NHS experienced staff and board turnover and opted out of NSP3 activities. This forced the City and WDC to alter the program to allow for WDC staff to take on both the homeowner and rental portions of the program. The other change to the NSP3 program is an even smaller target area has been implemented which will direct the funds to Burton Street and Walnut Streets. Both streets have a large number of tax delinquent properties, which the City foreclosed on, in addition to vacant parcels available for development into new energy efficient duplexes with a homeowner in one unit with a renter in the other.
WDC put out a bid package for the construction of 3 energy efficient modular homes each containing 2 units. Ashe Construction was awarded the bid for $ 727,200 with completion and delivery of the home for 52 Burton Street by July 31, 2013 and the two for 238 and 248 Walnut Street by the end of August 15, 2013. WDC is working closely with the City on the management and disposition of these units. The architectural firm of Quisenberry Arcari was 52 Burton Street selected to prepare designs for new construction, stick built units for 36 and 39 Burton Street. The project was bid twice and the only bid received was in excess of the anticipated fund balance remaining. During the same period, the City foreclosed on a 3-unit property at 105 Burton Street with a tenant in place. The architects are preparing plans and specifications to fully rehab this property and it is anticipated that the bid will go out by the end of August 2103.

Blight/Demolition & Emergency Relocation
Clearance and Demolition The City of Waterbury and the Waterbury Development Corporation (WDC) have always had an aggressive Anti-Blight/Demolition Program. Mayor Neil O’Leary has identified the elimination of blight as a top priority. He created a new Blight Enforcement and Control Division and has charged all City employees to assist war on blight. The Mayor’s office facilitated three blight summits that served as collaboration between City officials and residents. A blight taskforce was created consisting of the Building Official, Fire Marshall, Health Department, Zoning, Police Department, Mayor’s Office and the Waterbury Development Corporation. The task force meets weekly to discuss and prioritize properties slated for demolition. The City has a large number of properties that are vacant and in blighted condition. The existence of these vacant and blighted properties contributes to the decline of our City’s neighborhoods. It is further evidence that the existence of these properties adversely affects the economic wellbeing of the City and is detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the city residents. The City utilizes the emergency powers of the Building Official for condemnation purposes to effect demolition.
The City places a high priority on demolition citing the need for clearance to remove these hazardous structures. This program year, funds in the amount of $200,000.00 were allocated to this activity. In addition, carryover funds of $61,471.32 were made available to aid in the elimination of these slum and blighted properties. In the five-year plan, an estimated goal of 20 demolitions was set. In the fourth year of our five-year plan, we have surpassed our goal with a total of 22 structures demolished. This program year, the following 9 properties were completed:
1208 North Main Street - $ 50,041.50 - This property was located in close proximity to the new Rev. Jonathan E. Reed elementary school. The building was vacant for several years and the porches were in danger of collapse. The Building Official condemned and an Order of Demolition was ordered. The razing of this property allowed for new open space in the North End of Waterbury Project Action Committee (NEWPAC) neighborhood.
27 Coe Street - $19,366.00 - This property was located in the Walnut Orange Walsh (WOW) neighborhood. The property was vacant and abandoned for a number of years. A section of the building collapsed posing a threat to the neighbors. The Building Official condemned the building and ordered demolition. The razing of this building allowed for much needed green space.
307 Bishop Street - $51,832.90 - This property was located in the Crownbrook neighborhood approximately one block away from Fulton Park. There was a major fire causing the building to fall into the road. The Building Official ordered Emergency

Emergency Relocation Assistance
The City of Waterbury’s relocation plan is a direct result of a Court case Diaz v. the City of Waterbury (CVWA-8401-0087). In 1991 a Stipulation was filed with Superior Court stating that the City would immediately implement the Relocation Plan. The Plan was adopted pursuant to the provisions of the Uniform Relocation Assistance Act (the URAA), Connecticut General Statutes Section 8-266 et seq. and URAA regulations, and URAA regulations, Connecticut Agencies Regulations Section 8-273-1 through 8-273-41. Connecticut General Statutes 8-266 states that the purpose of URAA “is to establish a uniform policy for the fair and equitable treatment of persons displaced by code enforcement activities.
2012 Annual Report 22
The purpose of the Relocation Plan is to provide assistance to individuals and families displaced by the City’s code enforcement activities.
The Waterbury Development Corporation (WDC) pursuant to the City of Waterbury’s adopted Optional Relocation Assistance policy accomplishes the determination of optional relocation benefits and assistance under the Relocation Plan.
Relocation occurs when the City code enforcement official determines that a property is in such condition as to constitute an “immediate and serious threat to the health or safety of the occupants” and the owner of the premises fails or refuses to make the necessary repairs and/or relocate the occupants. The City is obligated to provide relocation assistance to the occupants.
This program affords payments to individuals displaced for code violations along with rental payments to retain lead free housing and storage facility to alleviate displacement-related problems. These households/individuals were assisted for lack of essential services, water, heat, electricity etc. Tenants displaced were either returned to their original unit or another apartment.
Emergency relocation expenditures for the program year were $18,643.00. A total of 9 families were assisted with these funds representing 30 people who were relocated for lack of essential services water, heat, fire and electricity. Tenants displaced were either returned to their original unit or another apartment. Total relocations are down from previous years as a direct result of the city’s code enforcement activities.

Brownfield Projects
Brownfield Development
The Waterbury Development Corporation has secured several large assessment and cleanup grants from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD). The City’s long history of industrial production has resulted in numerous Brownfield sites needing assessment and cleanup. The mission of the Waterbury Development Corporation Brownfields program is to categorize city-wide brownfields in order to determine the conditions that may have impeded the reuse of the sites; determine the human health and ecological health risks; estimate the cost of remediating individual sites; and when possible, acquire and remediate a site. Grants being administered for assessment and remediation are as follows: • EPA Brownfield Assessment Grant - $400K • DECD Brownfield Grant (44 Chapel Street) - $100K • DECD Brownfield Grant (313 Mill Street)- $2M • Mad River Redevelopment Grant (777 & 835 South Main Street, 2727 River Street & 313 Mill Street) - $500K
Assessment work continues at the following residential and industrial city properties: • 39 Cherry Avenue • 177 Cherry Street • 36, 39, 45-47, 52, 53, 57, & 66 Burton Street • 234-240 & 244-250 Walnut Street • 116 Bank Street • 835 South Main Street
A Center City Brownfields Corridor (see map on following page) was established as a guide for a strategic, targeted approach for using brownfield assessment funds and to redevelop challenged areas based on the following goals: • Smart Growth Redevelopment • Public transportation accessibility for Transit Oriented Development • Soliciting developer interest • Support the cross-cutting federal funding concept • Provide a base for discussion and preparation of an area redevelopment plan • Insure access to the Enterprise zone The WDC has completed grant applications and successfully received unprecedented consecutive community-wide Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Brownfield Assessment Grants for Hazardous Substances and Petroleum contaminated sites totaling $400,000.00. The obtainment of grants continues via this targeted approach to continue to redevelop the targeted area.

Cherry Street Industrial Park
The long vacant buildings located at 16 Cherry Avenue and 167 Maple Street have been successfully deconstructed to clear the site for redevelopment. The received grant funding from EPA required the historic mill buildings be deconstructed and a percentage of the salvaged structures re-used. The successful deconstruction was finalized in the spring of 2013. An RFP was issued to solicit development proposals for the site seeking industrial / commercial developers. The WDC is currently negotiating with a potential developer that seeks to locate a business on the site.
The project was funded with $75,000 from CT DECD to perform a Phase III, $100,000 from the Valley Council of Governments ARRA Cleanup funding, $400,000 in EPA cleanup funding, $650,000 from the State of Connecticut Brownfields Municipal Pilot program for abatement and demolition, and $1,140,000 from EDA for streetscape and infrastructure improvements for the final development.
Waterbury is the first city in Connecticut to dismantle and reuse the material of a former commercial or industrial building. This strategy has attracted the attention of State and Federal agencies, and demolition and deconstruction reclamation companies throughout the United States.

Business Loans & Outreach
WDC is the only City of Waterbury agency that administers business loans and citywide tax abatements. The WDC is comprised of a staff of accomplished business-minded economic development professionals who lead seminars and panel discussions on a myriad of economic topics. The combination of real business incentives and staff competence has made WDC Waterbury’s central location for business development inquiries.
The Business Growth Group completed more than 100 client visits in 2012. It was also the first full year of the WDC’s partnership with the State of Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Developments Small Business Express Loan program. As a result of this partnership the WDC approved and committed to fund nearly $4,000,000 to local business under that program alone. More importantly these businesses have committed to create 105 new jobs and retain another 183 existing positions.
Two of the highlights under WDC’s own loan program are:
Eemax, Inc., the largest manufacturer of tankless electric water heaters relocated to 400 Captain Neville Drive from Oxford with a WDC loan to assist in moving and renovation expenses. In return, Eemax brought 56 new jobs to Waterbury with the commitment of another 25.
IMS Waterjet, Inc. is a manufacturer of high tech water cutting machines primarily being used to cut large pipe. A recent application of this equipment for the oil shale industry has made this product highly sought after. IMS received financial assistance from the WDC to relocate its operations to Waterbury. IMS Waterjet has committed 15 new jobs to the City.
The WDC along with the Mayors Economic Development Office has had considerable success in attracting new stores to the Central Business District (CBD) of Waterbury. During the past year seven new businesses have opened in the CBD, six of which have received financial assistance either through the Small Business Express program or from WDC directly.
As of June 30, 2013, the WDC is managing a loan portfolio of sixty-seven loans for a total outstanding of $7,223,786. The portfolio is performing as expected and there was only one default the past year. This default was primarily mitigated by the sale of the equipment held as collateral by the WDC.
In summary, the past fiscal year the WDC has approved and funded loans for twenty-six businesses for a grand total of $3,129,500 with a commitment for an additional $525,000 yet to be funded for a grand total of $3,654,500 as compared to $950,000 the prior year.
2012 Annual Report 27
Activity in the manufacturing portion of Waterbury’s economic base continued this year and resulted in positive results. Over the previous year, the Waterbury Development Corporation worked very closely with the City’s Economic Development Director and provided assistance to eleven companies that undertook projects here. WDC staff worked with officials with two of the companies for more than a year. The eleven companies are: Renewable Heat Products, LLC (a manufacturer of wood briquettes) Architectural Supplements LLC (a manufacturer of metal and fiberglass planters/containers) Seidel, Inc. (a manufacturer/metal finishing – anodizing – operation) Nelson Heat Treating, Inc. (a manufacturer/metal finishing – heat treating – operation) T & A Screw Products, Inc. (a manufacturer of high precision turned parts) IMS Waterjet, Inc. (a manufacturer of waterjet cutting machines) Precision Dip Coating, LLC (a manufacturer/metal finishing – plastic coating – operation) Mountaintop Mushroom, LLC (a manufacturer of growing medium/mycelium and gourmet mushrooms)
Unipharm, Inc. (a manufacturer of pharmaceuticals – vitamins, supplements, etc.) Coilplus, Inc. (a manufacturer/processor of strip steel product) Wesson Energy Inc. (supplier/distributor of heating oil and propane products)
Of the eleven, nine were existing companies and two were start-up ventures. Of the eleven companies, two were expansion and new construction projects; one was a relocation project from outside Connecticut; three were companies that relocated to Waterbury and expanded into larger space compared to their former locations; two were expansions of existing Waterbury manufacturers, two were new companies, and one was an expansion of an existing industrial operation. There were a total of two hundred full-time positions, five part-time positions and thirteen temporary positions affiliated with these companies. Of the eleven projects, two resulted in the construction of additions totaling 8,961 sq. ft. to existing facilities, eight projects resulted in the occupancy of a total of 247,046 sq. ft. of previously vacant or under-utilized space that was returned to productive use, and one resulted in a capital intense development of a 1.43-acre parcel of property. These eleven projects resulted in a total of $2,928,146 being spent on build-out/space preparation, and, there was a total of $4,071,845 (70% value) added to the city’s personal property portion of its October 1, 2012 Grand List. Taking into account that most of this personal property qualified for certain tax abatements, there was still a net gain to the Grand List. At the time of the preparation of this report, activity continues for the manufacturing portion of Waterbury’s economic base. Another eight industrial business owners have expressed serious interest in or have committed to undertaking projects and the WDC continues to work with several brokers with additional manufacturing prospects.
2012 Annual Report 28
State & Enterprise Zone Tax Abatements
Tax abatements are incentives that reduce taxes for certain qualifying projects that are undertaken. The city of Waterbury, through state legislation, offers two programs for manufacturing projects, and in certain cases, commercial and residential projects. Such incentives provide an advantage and attract private investment for the expansion and relocation of businesses to Waterbury, and, new construction or substantial rehabilitation of properties. The WDC administers the Enterprise Zone Program and the Urban Jobs Tax Abatement Program and both continue to be successful tools that result in business retention, business creation, job creation and the enhancement of neighborhoods. If the owners of a manufacturing operation are considering Waterbury and other towns with lower mill rates, the availability of tax abatement programs can help “level the playing field” for Waterbury. The following companies undertook projects and were tax abatement recipients with the October 1, 2012 Grand List Year: Renewable Heat Products, LLC is a fairly new existing company that manufactures wood briquettes and wood logs from discarded clean wood shavings to be burned in fireplaces and wood-burning stoves as an alternative source of heat for ultimate use by the consumer market. This was a relocation and expansion project since the company relocated to a 36,975 sq.ft. stand-alone facility in the city’s Brookside Industrial Park that was on the market for some time. The company had one full-time employee at the time it completed its project, but has since hired additional personnel. Although the business originally executed a long-term lease, the principles exercised their option several months ago to purchase the property. Architectural Supplements LLC has been in existence since 1997. This is a manufacturing company that specializes in the decorative finishing and assembly of metal and fiberglass planters to be ultimately used by businesses in the commercial and hospitality industries. This project entailed the expansion into 18,057 sq.ft. within the building to complement the existing 31,051 sq.ft. of space that was occupied prior to this project. The WDC staff worked closely with the business since the company seriously considered undertaking the expansion at its California facility. The business employs 18 full-time people in the Waterbury facility. Seidel, Inc. is an existing manufacturer that specializes in the finishing (anodizing) of metal products made by other manufacturers. The expansion project was the construction of a 3,000 sq.ft. addition to the existing 75,168 sq.ft. facility to house a new wastewater pre-treatment line which will enhance the company’s capabilities. At the time the project was completed, Seidel, Inc. had 64 full-time employees, 2 part-time employees and 13 temp workers. Nelson Heat Treating Co., Inc. is a 65-year old, family-owned manufacturer that provides heat treating and other related capabilities for all types of metal and alloy parts manufactured by others. This includes annealing, stress relieving, carbon restoration, carburizing, case hardening, micro-hardness testing, carbonitriding, etc. The expansion project resulted in the construction of a 5,961 sq.ft. in addition to the existing 5,939 sq.ft facility and the purchase of new machinery and equipment. At the time the project was completed, Nelson had 12 full-time and 1 part-time employees.

Unipharm, Inc. has an option to purchase the property. The Waterbury operation is part of the overall manufacturing process to create the end product in a tightly-controlled atmosphere. The business had 23 full-time employees at the time the project was completed. WDC staff was quite thrilled to land this operation since corporate officials were entertaining other facilities in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. Coilplus, Inc. is an existing manufacturer/processor of rolled strip steel products typically used by other manufacturers, particularly metal stamping businesses. This was an expansion project. The company expanded into 3,600 sq.ft. of underutilized space within an overall 82,226 sq.ft. free-standing building.
