WATERTOWN â For sale: Hundreds of pieces of used office equipment once used by employees who worked in a call center in a large Arsenal Street building.
The Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency wants to get rid of the work desks and other equipment before work begins later this year on turning the building into a community and aquatics center for the Watertown Family YMCA.
The lime green, royal blue and off-white colored work stations have sat unused since Concentrix closed the call center, 146 Arsenal St. in June 2019 and laid off its final 232 workers.
IDA officials are trying to figure out what to do with the employee work stations, chairs and file cabinets. They want to make sure that the office equipment is gone before it costs the JCIDA to remove it or possibly have to landfill it.

Volunteers from Rock Hill Church and Ballard Center board member Michelle Chronister spread rubber mulch at one of the Ballard Center s playgrounds in the summer of 2020.
At the beginning of the pandemic, Ballard Center Executive Director Becky Price was bracing for a 150% increase in people needing help and a 50% decrease in donors. But nine months into the pandemic, the nonprofit leader said no donor decrease has occurred. She’s had a “front row seat” to the community’s generosity, she said and especially so in her own North Lawrence community.
“People are stepping up to the plate. It is shocking and amazing to me,” she said.
As is usually the case with many film and television productions that come up north, it came down to the matter of money.
“We could have shot the whole movie in New York if we could afford it,” said photography director Greg Gardner, and second assistant director Kristin Bernstein added that “it’s much cheaper to shoot on stages in Canada.”
