Development News from the latest meeting
Monthly Board of Mayor and Burgess meeting 07/07/2026
Published: Jul 7, 2026
New Downtown Crests Planned to Honor History and Welcome Visitors
The board discussed plans for three new crest installations in downtown Naugatuck. One crest will be located at the new train station, dedicated to the U.S. Rubber Company, marking the historical site and future development. Another crest will be on Maple Street, welcoming visitors to Naugatuck, with potential themes including the town's past, present, and future. A third crest is planned for Church Street, offering flexibility for historical tribute or future-oriented design. The board will provide direction to Paul Moto for design concepts, with final selections to be discussed next month. Existing crests have already been approved for the train station, historical society, and downtown St. Goodwin buildings.
Heating Oil Purchase Authorized for Municipal Facilities
The board authorized the Mayor to enter into a contract for the purchase of 9,500 gallons of number 2 heating oil for the period September 1, 2026, to August 31, 2027. The cost is $2.74 per gallon, totaling $26,099.22. This purchase will be made through East River Energy of Guilford.
Debate Over Charging New Residents for Trash and Recycling Bins
The board discussed the policy for trash and recycling bins. A new resident reported not receiving bins and being told they would have to pay $70 for a bin, with an additional $175 annual fee for extra bins. The policy, adopted in 2022, charges $70 for replacement bins. Last year, 10 bins were replaced, with nine going to new residents. The discussion focused on whether new residents should be charged, especially since new houses receive free bins. The policy states $70 for replacement bins and $175 yearly for an extra bin. The board considered amending the policy to provide bins to new residents without charge, while ensuring the policy doesn't encourage unnecessary replacements.
Farmers Market Exceeds Expectations with High Demand and Vendor Success
The Farmers Market has been successful, with vendors selling out weekly and customers coming from over an hour away. Several vendors have requested more dates due to high demand. The market is seen as a staple, attracting hundreds of people weekly and allowing attendees to complete a significant portion of their grocery shopping there. The success is encouraging for vendors and beneficial for the community.
Public Comment Highlights Planter Color Testing and Train Bridge Signage Discussion
Public comment included suggestions for planter color testing on Water Street extension due to lower visibility, and a discussion about the town taking over the lease for the Triantolo sign on the train bridge on Maple Street to replace it with a 'Welcome to Naugatuck' sign. Ion Bank was willing to lease the sign, but a previous attempt to secure it failed. Metro-North owns and controls the bridge. The Mayor suggested exploring Ion Bank's lease again.
