Connecticut’s first solar resource center, known as the Northeast Region Green Distribution and Manufacturing Center, has opened in a 39,000 square foot building in Waterbury.
The center was created in conjunction with the building’s owner and entities of the Waterbury-based Industrial Management & Training Institute.
One of the main goals of the center is to bring clean manufacturing and solar incentives to Waterbury, according to IMTI founder Marcel Veronneau.
To attract more green companies, the center will undergo a three-phase renovation and marketing campaign, which will include the installation of an upgraded roof and 300,000-watt solar utility system for the building.
The building is currently home to 14 tenants including Energy System Sales and Training LLC, Veeco Electric, Inc., and aSolar Inc.
