WATERFORD, CT -- The F.W. Webb Co.'s complex in Waterford certainly isn't short on space. The newly constructed "green" facility covers a nearly 70,000-square-foot parcel off Vauxhall Street Extension overlooking the nearby Interstate 95, including a 43,000-square-foot warehouse, administrative space, a bath center featuring plumbing-related products for the home and a supply store specifically catering to plumbers and others in the industry.

The Waterford location is the company's first big footprint in southeastern Connecticut by the expansion-minded Bedford, Mass.-based company, which has a smaller satellite location in Franklin.

Brian Domanico, the general manager of the F.W. Webb Plumbing Supply complex in Waterford and an 18-year company veteran, says the firm is excited about its new prospects locally. He said the company recently took notice of this region's potential and scouted out a site that would be easily accessible - which is why the Waterford complex is so close to the busy I-95 and isn't far from Interstate 395.
