NAUGATUCK A proposed agreement between the Naugatuck Economic Development Corporation and Beacon Falls is on hold.
In February, the Beacon Falls Board of Selectmen unanimously approved an agreement with the NEDC to provide economic development services for the town from March 1 through June 30. The NEDC board of directors subsequently formed a subcommittee to review and possibly propose changes to the agency’s bylaws to make sure there were no liability issues.
NEDC President Ronald Pugliese said during the NEDC’s March 22 meeting that he spoke with Beacon Falls officials and the agreement is on pause for the time being.

BEACON FALLS Officials have reached an agreement with the Naugatuck Economic Development Corporation to provide economic development services to the town through the rest of this fiscal year.
The Board of Selectmen unanimously approved the agreement at its Feb. 8 meeting. The agreement still needs to be approved by the NEDC Board of Directors, which is scheduled to meet Feb. 22.
“I think it’s in our best interest as we don’t have really any economic representation right now and NEDC, from what I can tell, they should be an asset helping the town move forward and bringing further economic development to the town,” First Selectman Gerard Smith said during the meeting.
