The newly redesigned parking lot at the Waterbury Train Station, which opened last spring, is one of many upgrades to the Meadow Street area during 2020. The project involved reconfiguring and repaving the parking lot, installing new drainage and lighting, and adding landscaping. A bus pick-up and drop-off zone and passenger waiting shelter were built. The demolition cost about $1.5 million, which was funded by the state Department of Transportation. The site improvements cost about $700,000, with funds provided by the state and Federal Transit Administration. The upgrades were overseen by the Waterbury Development Corp. The area has been a focus of the city’s economic development efforts.
