During a recent government meeting, officials discussed critical infrastructure issues affecting the Waterbury Police Department and surrounding areas. The primary focus was on addressing water infiltration problems in the police offices located within the former travel center.

Officials outlined that the proposed contract would target three main areas requiring urgent attention: the water infiltration issue, repairs to the stairwell at the end of Cottage Place, and structural concerns regarding a beam that supports part of the top parking deck.

The total cost for the project is estimated to exceed $10 million. A preliminary inspection and report conducted last year helped prioritize the necessary repairs, ensuring that the most pressing issues are addressed first. However, specific timelines for the completion of these repairs were not provided during the meeting, leaving stakeholders eager for updates on the progress of this significant infrastructure project.
