Mayor Paul K. Pernerkewski said Friday the city’s long search for a redevelopment partner for the former Anamet factory complex on South Main Street could be nearing a successful conclusion. Pernerewski said the city’s recruitment efforts were boosted by by the State Bond Commission’s approval Friday of an additional $5.3 million to support the continued environmental cleanup of the former industrial property abutting the Naugatuck River on South Main Street. The city issued its third request for proposals for redeveloping the former the campus of the Anamet network of factory buildings late last year. The former industrial complex at 698 S. Main St. was used for manufacturing from 1812 to 1977 by, in turn, Benedict & Burnham Manufacturing Co., American Brass Co., Anaconda American Brass Co., and ARCO. The mayor said the $5.3 million bond allocation approved Friday will help negotiations because the cleanup cost is such a major consideration.
