Polluted by more than a century of metal manufacturing, the 17.4-acre former Anamet manufacturing campus near the center of Waterbury has sat abandoned and decaying for nearly two decades, visited mostly by homeless individuals, drug users and vandals.
The city of Waterbury and state have poured more than $5 million into cleaning and preparing the property for reuse, much of it going into demolition of crumbling buildings. An additional $4 million in state brownfield grants has been earmarked for continued cleanup.
