Naugatuck to spend $3 million a year to fix roads after decades of neglect

About a decade ago, when Mayor N. Warren “Pete” Hess was first elected to office, one of the biggest complaints he heard from residents was on the condition of the roads. The Board of Mayor and Burgesses approved at its March 4 meeting a modified five-year plan starting in the 2025-26 fiscal year and extending to 2031. The plan calls for spending about $3 million annually on its paving program. The borough also used grant funding from Local Transportation Capital Improvement Program for North Main and Spring streets and currently $12 million for Rubber Avenue. Hess said he gives all the credit to General Foreman Jeremy Lennon and the street department crews who have transitioned from being a maintenance crew to a high level construction crew, equal in skills to major construction companies.
