Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Industrial Info is tracking more than $2.1 billion in planned first-quarter 2020 Industrial Manufacturing project starts in the New England and U.S. Northeast market regions. The New England region includes Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont, and the Northeast region includes Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Connecticut, while not usually an industrial powerhouse, leads in terms of project value, thanks to some high-value projects.

As institutions seek to free themselves from the unpredictability of public power grids, microgrids are becoming increasingly popular and feature among the regions' most prominent projects. At the naval submarine base in Groton, Connecticut, a large microgrid project is being planned to supply independently generated renewable energy in case of an emergency outage. The project will use an existing 5-megawatt (MW) combined heat and power plant and add a 4-MW rooftop solar system as well as 7.4 MW of fuel-cell power. Burns & McDonnell Incorporated (Kansas City, Missouri) is the architect and engineer on the microgrid, which is expected to be completed in the summer of 2021. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the microgrid and fuel cell installations.
At the naval station in Newport, Rhode Island, a similar project is underway that will add a 5-MW combined heat and power plant and 21-MW photovoltaic solar system. The solar installation will include two 10-MW installation at some of the station's tank yards and a 1-MW installation at a landfill site. The combined heat and power plant is expected to be completed in the first half of 2021, followed by the solar installation in early 2022. BQ Energy LLC (Wappingers Falls, New York) is the director of the projects. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the combined heat and power plant and solar system.
In Connecticut, the state's port authority is planning improvements to the 30-acre pier complex at the shipping port in New Haven, Connecticut. The $93 million project entails dredging the port as well as making structural improvements to rail and storage areas, warehouses, piers and quay walls. The project is expected to kick off early in the quarter and take a little more than two years to complete. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Warehousing and distribution projects also are prominent in the regions, and among the largest of these is Bridge Development Partners LLC's (Parsippany, New Jersey) planned brownfield warehouse in Brooklyn, New York. The facility will be built on an 18-acre site, and the project entails demolishing existing structures and constructing a four-story, 1.3 million-square-foot building. The project is expected to take about two years to complete. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Several traditional manufacturing projects also are set to kick off in the region in the upcoming quarter, including the Phase III expansion of a door-manufacturing plant in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Owner Reed Millwork (Fountainville, Pennsylvania) will expand the plant by constructing a 295,000-square-foot building addition with office and manufacturing space to increase production. The project is expected to be completed in third-quarter 2020. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Industrial Info is tracking several other planned manufacturing plant expansions in the area, including a plastic injection molding manufacturing plant in New York, a commercial printing plant in Pennsylvania and a computer systems manufacturing plant in Vermont.
