Waterbury Amazon deal vote likely

Officials from the city and Bluewater said this hearing and vote is not for the Amazon plant application, nor does it grant or supersede any of the numerous steps, permits and approvals required to eventually build the facility. Rather, Monday’s vote, if favorable, will allow both parties to execute the purchase and sale agreement, officially giving Bluewater access to the property to begin the feasibility phase – to “see if the project is viable,” Waterbury Development Corp. Interim Director Thomas Hyde said. The development group is looking to buy the rocky, wooded lot straddling both municipalities for $2.5 million. The group’s prospective tenant, Amazon, was announced earlier this year, followed by months of negotiating on the purchase and sale agreement, which officials stressed is a very early step in the process.
