Mayor Erin E. Stewart presented the city’s next “Beautification” award on Tuesday, Jan. 5thto Atlantic Restoration and Remodeling Group in recognition of the company’s renovations to their building on Woodland Street.
“This building had been vacant for more than 10 years and was falling into disrepair. It has since been given a face lift and is now completely different than what it once was,” Mayor Stewart said. “I am proud to present this award to Atlantic Restoration for their efforts to improve the neighborhood.”
The Mayor and Bill Carroll, Business Development Director for the New Britain Municipal Economic Development Agency, presented the business with the award at the company’s headquarters at 35 Woodland St. Atlantic Restoration is a full service restoration and remodeling company that specializes in water, fire, and mold remediation services. Owner Gregory Radin purchased the property on Woodland Street in July 2015 and has since made extensive renovations to the both the building’s exterior and interior. For more information on the company, visit their website: www.atlanticrestorationct.com.
The company was established five years ago and was previously based in Southington. The move to New Britain has allowed the company to triple their space and more than double the amount of business they were previously doing, according to Radin. The company currently has 5 full-time employees and is actively seeking to add more workers.
The 10,646-square-foot building on Woodland Street is situated in an industrial zone that’s in close proximity to the CTFastrak corridor. The block and concrete constructed building was built in 1900.
Mayor Stewart announced in January 2015 the “Beautify New Britain” initiative as a way to recognize New Britain property owners who have beautified or significantly improved their property. Previous recipients have included Riley’s Hot Dog and Burger Gourmet, Polamer Precision, and the Simon Konover Company for their work in transforming the Pinnacle Heights housing complex into the modern Brytania Square community.
A new business or residence will be selected on an on-going basis. The recipient is determined through feedback from the public, as well as through input from city personnel who have direct knowledge of the properties.
If you are aware of any property owner that you consider deserving of the award and wish to recommend them, please contact Bill Carroll, Business Development Director for New Britain’s Municipal Economic Development Agency, at 860- 229-1665 or [email protected]
