Waterbury OKs developer’s wetlands plan for Amazon warehouse on ‘virgin land’

Officials with the Waterbury Inland Wetlands Commission approved developer Bluewater Property Group’s plan to build an Amazon fulfillment center on the Naugatuck line, after hearing opposition from a handful of residents with environmental concerns. Located on a wooded hilltop in the Waterbury-Naugatuck Industrial Park just off Route 8, the Amazon facility would support between 500 and 1,000 jobs depending on seasonal needs, along with construction jobs as the fulfillment center gets built. Several members of Connecticut State Building Trades unions attended in a show of support for the project. Naugatuck Mayor Pete Hess has projected that taxes from the Amazon fulfillment center would add about $2.5 million in revenue for each city.
