NAUGATUCK – State Senator Jorge Cabrera (D-Hamden) today helped break ground on the construction of 180 new mixed-income apartments at the corner of Maple Street and Old Firehouse Road that are being built in part with state funding and which will give both local residents and businesses an economic boost.

The vacant, 7-acre parcel will see the first 60 apartments open next Fall with one- and two-bedroom apartments available at 30%, 50% and 80% of the area median income along with market-rate units. The apartments will also feature 3,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space for local businesses.

At the same time, the Connecticut Department of Transportation is building a new state-of-the-art train station nearby to be completed in 2027.

“I remember a year ago riding around with Mayor Hess, and he showed me this spot and he talked about the city’s plans for it. At the time, I thought it would be great if only it could be accomplished, and here we are breaking ground and surrounded by progress,” Sen. Cabrera said. “I think it’s important to stay positive and work together, and that’s how we make progress for everybody.”
