(Source: rep-am.com) WATERBURY — The Waterbury Housing Authority's first large-scale attempt to build new housing in two decades has begun with a major disappointment involving the risk of losing $350,000.

The authority paid that amount to a Pennsylvania builder who has so far failed to deliver on a contract to build a four-unit affordable living apartment building at the corner of Willow and West Main streets, according to Waterbury Housing Authority Board Chairman James Lawlor. The money came from a U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development grant, he said.
