has created a vision plan for redeveloping Naugatuck by celebrating
the magnets that originally spawned settlement in the community:
transportation and the riverfront setting. By focusing on
these assets, Naugatuck will have an opportunity to redefine itself
as a regional center, once more. The project, Renaissance Place,
is planned as a mixed-use development with residential, hotel,
retail, office, restaurants and services, as well as an intermodal
transportation center to enhanced access.
The first of which is planned to include over 550 new apartments,
220,000 square-feet of retail space along with public green
spaces, new roads, and improved gateways. The initial phase is
designed to spur economic development throughout the community
and attract interest from investors while increasing demand
for Metro-North service. Future development plans may include
up to three hotels with 500 rooms, 490,000 square feet of retail,
and up to 1,700 apartments, townhouses and live-work lofts.
Integral to the redevelopment plan is an accessible waterfront
with identifiable north and south gateways and extensions of two
main streets as thoroughfares for the complex.
