Kovacs Construction Co. is moving to Oxford after 20 years of calling Danbury home for a more central location so the company can work all over Connecticut more easily, the News Times reported.

Wanda Kovacs, who runs the family-owned company with her brother, Tom Kovacs, told the Times the building they purchased will offer the company more space and a more central location for their operations. She also said the town of Oxford offered tax credits and other incentives that helped influence them to make the move.

Found in 1970 by Richard Kovacs in Stamford, the construction company moved to its White Street, Danbury location in 1986, and specializes in government sewer and water infrastructure, including pump stations and water treatment plants, the Times reported.

The new near-16,000-square-foot industrial, flex-style building on Riggs Street, Oxford was purchased for $975,000, and the old 7,000-square-foot facility in Danbury is listed for $1.2 million, the Times reported.
