According to Mayor Elinor Carbone, the city is working with the building’s property owner, Torrington Standard, which in 2022 received funding for demolition and remediation. The City Council discussed the $2 million Brownfield Remediation Grant, allocated by the state Department of Economic and Community Development, which will be used to tear down areas of the property. Torrington Standard, represented by Glenn Carbone and Christine Bellucci on this project, has been working with the city and the state. After a project review, the agencies agreed to hire Manafort Brothers. A contract is being finalized, Malanca said, and all work is contracted directly with the property owner and Manafort. Once the sites are razed and cleared, the city invited developers to consider these spaces for housing, office and retail space, as well as manufacturing. The Torrington Co. buildings on Field Street, for example, house a variety of businesses and offices, including the Northwest CT Chamber of Commerce, a health club, small manufacturers and other companies.
