Additional Property Attributes

DRS Power Technology tenant of Putnam Place intends to install a turbine testing equipment station at the site which requires that the concrete floor be cut and footings installed. Due to the AUL on the property, a Licensed Site Professional must evaluate Site conditions and the work must be completed under the provisions of a Release Abatement Measure RAM. Once completed, this new testing system will create more jobs and be one of only three in the country. The FRA through the City of Fitchburg received funding to upgrade a new truck entrance to the Putnam Place site as well as install a loading dock to "Building #3" in the Putnam Place complex. This will allow the FRA to market the complex to a wider range of potential tenants. The FRA intends to demolish one building on the site of the complex to gain much needed parking for employees of tenants of Building #2... the building intended for demolition has been studied for the feasibility of renovating. With systems dating back to circa 1940's and non compliant ADA accessibility it has been determined that renovating the building is not an option. With this building down at the entrance of the complex the FRA will be able to showcase the other buildings on site that have been renovated and further the ability to attract new prospective tenants.

Former Use: The approximately 10-acre property was formerly used for the manufacture and testing of turbines by the General Electric Company (GE) since World War II. The buildings constructed on the property were utilized for offices, manufacturing, maintenance and storage. Operations conducted at the property by GE included machining, assembly, painting, testing, research and development, office work, storage and maintenance activities, and shipping and receiving. Operation of the facility by GE ceased in 1998.
