PUTNAM — A place to spread out and get the work done.
That’s what Woodstock Building Associates new second home means in the former Putnam Candy.
Doug Porter said sometimes a customer might have some garage space available for creating, but sometimes not.
The renovated building on Woodstock Avenue gives the business space to work. It’s also the receiving department for project supplies.
At last week’s ribbon cutting Porter thanked his wife Gail and every member of his company. “It’s not Doug Porter, it’s WBA; it’s a team.” WBA also has a showroom and offices a little further down the street in Woodstock.
Putnam Mayor Barney Seney said WBA has always been known for the quality of their work. And they give back to the community. Joe Carlone of Linemaster Switch, president of the Northeastern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce, said WBA “has always hade a stellar reputation.”
Gary Osbrey, speaking for the Putnam Business Association, noted how much history is in the building and complimented WBA for “beautifying northeastern Connecticut one property at a time. Thanks for landing in Putnam.”
