Projects - Downtown Putnam
Top: This is the middle section of the Kennedy Drive Commuter Lot. It is being completely reworked and expanded. The project includes a new storm water management system which takes the water from the lot, under Kennedy Drive into some filtering basins before releasing the clean water into the Quinebaug. In addition there will be more parking spaces added including several EV charging stations. The entrance closest to the Rt. 44/Kennedy Drive intersection is closed. The new entrance to the lot will be further down, away from the congested intersection. Officials hope that the paving may be done the first or second week of May. Above: The 4,400 square-foot- expansion of Gerardi Hilb Group on Canal Street should start any way now. The parking that is currently behind the Gerardi building will move to the far end of the addition. Linda Lemmon photos.
