The former Putnam public library will soon be the new home of three Putnam-based businesses.
Savage Systems, Quiet Corner Physical Therapy, and REAL Custom Training have announced plans to move into the former town facility at 225 Kennedy Dr.
“When the opportunity to lease the old library came up, I jumped on it,” said Savage Systems owner Eric Gould. “As Savage Systems grows and expands and adds staff, the need for more and different space became more and more evident. We’re the area’s premiere provider of technical support for businesses, schools, small government, and even consumers, so it was important that we stay in this community as we grow. I’m super excited that Quiet Corner Physical Therapy and REAL Custom Training are teaming up with Savage Systems to bring learning, healing, and connecting back to this iconic building.”
The three businesses are slated to move into the former library soon. Savage Systems and Quiet Corner Physical Therapy will occupy the ground floor, while REAL Custom Training will operate from the downstairs level, where the library’s former meeting room will be converted into a collaborative training space for professional workshops and seminars.
In addition to benefiting their own businesses, the new tenants hope their move will be a good thing for all the businesses in downtown Putnam.
“Savage Systems and Quiet Corner Physical Therapy have an established clientele that’s going to love visiting them downtown. As for my business, we’re new and growing, and professionals from all over New England will be coming to downtown Putnam to take our workshops,” said REAL Custom Training owner and instructor Andrew Morrison. “Folks can take a workshop with us in the morning, then visit Thai Place for lunch, or grab an espresso at Chubby Dog Coffee Company, or take a walk in Rotary Park before heading back to the office. Downtown Putnam is awesome, and we can’t wait to be a part of it.”
For Dr. Gregory Haney, owner of Quiet Corner Physical Therapy, the move to the former library represents a chance to relocate while maintaining local roots.
“As our company expands, it is very important for us to continue to be a part of the local community. The building’s size, convenience, and great location offers us an even better opportunity to support the patients of the Quiet Corner for years to come. We are very excited to provide these services along with these two companies,” Haney said.
With new life coming to the former library facility, Putnam Economic and Community Development Director Delpha Very said, “The Town of Putnam is truly excited to see the former Putnam Library be the home to northeastern Connecticut’s entrepreneurial spirit.”
