Naugatuck Historic Train Station Up For Purchase After Long Vacancy

Local attorney Carlos Santos and Jim Perzhilla, owner of Spartan II Pizza Restaurant & Lounge in Southington, plan to purchase the historic train station at 195 Water St. together and open a new business, after years of searching for a buyer with the Naugatuck Economic Development Corp., the Republican-American reports.

The duo plans to pay Naugatuck $300,000 for the borough-owned property building over five years and will put about $500,000 toward renovations to build a casual dining restaurant they plan to name The Station, the Rep-Am reports.

But a possible competing offer from brothers Remzi and Vesul Nasufi, owners of Vinny’s Restaurant and Pizza at 44 Prospect St., has been brought up, and the new offer has been placed on tonight’s Board of Mayor and Burgesses meeting at 5:30 p.m. at Town Hall.
