Gilbert & Bennett (officially Gilbert & Bennett Manufacturing Company) was an American wire mill and wire manufacturing company.
History
The company was founded in 1834 by Benjamin Gilbert and Sturges Bennett in the Georgetown section of Redding, Connecticut.[1] In 1998, G&B filed for bankruptcy after its once prosperous industrial manufacturing fell victim to the growing deindustrialization and it ultimately ceased operation in 2001.[2]
In 2002, the Town of Redding found a partner to revitalize the former site, in the Georgetown Land Development Company (GLDC); however, this company went bankrupt as well and several tax liens made the town reclaim the 55-acre site.[3][4] As of 2023 many environmental surveys are required to make the site usable for residential or mixed-use projects which are currently performed by the town.[5][6][7]
