The borough hopes to secure a construction manager deal to pave the way for the development of a road network for a new industrial park. The Board of Mayor and Burgesses gave the goahead for Mayor N. Warren “Pete” Hess to enter into an American Institute of Architects document standard form agreement with O&G Industries, of Torrington, to develop a road network at former Uniroyal Chemical/United States Rubber Co. complex site for Industrial Park #3 at 280 Elm St. The proposed development calls new roads and the division of the property into about nine separate building lots for industrial sites. Borough officials want to start the construction for the road network in this current calendar year and are hopeful to finish one of the roads by this time next year, Hess said.
