Identifier	Thesis 2001
Author	Butler, James C.
Title	Waterbury Connecticut: A Study in Dynamic Economic and Demographic Change
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2009
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	Waterbury, Connecticut is known as the Brass City. To those who are familiar with it, they are also aware of its profound brass history. The former brass factories are abandoned or serving the city in some other capacity. Herein, lay the problem. There is a vast amount of information regarding Waterbury's brass history, but very little has been done since its demise. Essentially, now that brass is gone – what type of city is Waterbury today? Waterbury's economy was rooted in manufacturing. Now, that brass is gone there needs to be a reexamination of Waterbury's new economy, an economy that is now rooted in service rather than manufacturing. Also, the residents who witnessed and experienced the economic transformation have changed as well. One city school, Crosby High School, is a great barometer of the dynamic change that has occurred in the Brass City. To ascertain pertinent information research was conducted utilizing both print and electronic information. Primary and secondary sources provided sufficient information to support the position of this paper. Also, extensive research was done with census material from the Connecticut State Library. A survey was administered to assess a group of student's impressions of the city and the importance of their education in Waterbury's new economy. The research indicated above proved that Waterbury's economy did shift from manufacturing to service. This shift has impacted the current residents. Specifically, it has placed an increased importance on education. The research contained within this paper should be used to guide good educational practices that will prepare Waterbury's students for a new economy.
