A proposal to sell 17.3 acres of city-owned land in the Waterbury-Naugatuck Industrial Park to online retail giant Amazon for an access road for its new logistics center now under construction there is being revived. The administration of Mayor Paul K. Pernerewski Jr. resubmitted a request to sell the parcel to Amazon for $325,000 to the Board of Aldermen two months after the original sales proposal was withdrawn because Amazon required more time. The $2.5 million sale was conditioned on the granting of an easement across the 17.3-acre parcel of city-owned land for an access way to the warehouse and distribution hub. City officials later offered to sell the land to Amazon after they determined the lot would have limited development opportunities due to being divided by the access road and the difficult topography on its remaining sections. The city and company negotiated the $325,000 sales price. Site work and construction has started on the five-story, 3.2 million-square-foot logistics center. The construction contract sets a three-year timetable for completion, but Bluewater and Amazon can request two extensions totaling 18 months.
