NAUGATUCK, CT — At the most recent Board of Mayor and Burgesses meeting, Mayor Pete Hess broached the future of the Naugatuck Event Center located at 6 Rubber Avenue.
Hess said there are many events being held at the Naugatuck Event Center. The Joint Boards will need to make some decisions regarding the event center. We do not know what will happen to the building, the Mayor said.
"Most likely, it will be sold to a developer as part of our Downtown Transit Oriented Development District. The borough cannot give a long-term lease to someone who would put money into fixing the rented space in the building because we intend on selling the building to a developer one day.
