Update On Recreation Field Project In Naugatuck

NAUGATUCK, CT — Naugatuck officials provided an update on the Kevin M. DelGobbo Memorial Field project located at Apple Hill Estates.

Last month the project was discussed before the Planning and Zoning Commission, which granted a one-year extension to the special permit for the open space recreation field.

Wayne Zirolli, Borough Engineer, said the field is under construction. The blasting was scheduled to start soon for the irrigation system. Once blasting is complete, the lighting contractors will start installing the lighting, Zirolli said, according to March 18 meeting minutes.

The field is close to sub-grading at this point and now they are filling the edges to bring it to its full dimensions. The work is proceeding nicely on this project but they do need this year to finish this project, he said.

In 2016 Naugatuck was given a 7.3 acre tract of land on Osborn Road and Wisteria Drive as part of a subdivision approval and they announced plans for recreational fields there, My Citizen's News reports.
