WATERTOWN â For sale: Hundreds of pieces of used office equipment once used by employees who worked in a call center in a large Arsenal Street building.
The Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency wants to get rid of the work desks and other equipment before work begins later this year on turning the building into a community and aquatics center for the Watertown Family YMCA.
The lime green, royal blue and off-white colored work stations have sat unused since Concentrix closed the call center, 146 Arsenal St. in June 2019 and laid off its final 232 workers.
IDA officials are trying to figure out what to do with the employee work stations, chairs and file cabinets. They want to make sure that the office equipment is gone before it costs the JCIDA to remove it or possibly have to landfill it.

Plans are in the works to bring retail back to Downtown Haverhill’s White’s Corner as Harbor Place is planning to build a space for selling goods along the Merrimack River.
Merrimack Street Ventures, owned jointly by the Greater Haverhill Foundation and Boston Archdiocese’s Planning Office for Urban Affairs, was formally awarded $75,000 from the state’s Collaborative Workspace Program for the project Tuesday. The money is part of $1.2 million in Baker-Polito Administration grants to 26 organizations in 18 communities.
“Our administration is proud to provide funding to help collaborative workspaces comply with the mandatory workplace safety standards essential to our COVID-19 reopening plan,” said Gov. Charlie Baker.
