G&W Products Groundbreaking

G&W Products is continuing to grow its Fairfield footprint with a major expansion of its manufacturing facility on Seward Road. The company recently broke ground on a 17,000-square-foot addition to its existing 120,000-square-foot facility, representing a $3.1 million investment in its Fairfield operations.

G&W Products is a manufacturer specializing in metal fabrication, stamping, and coating services for both defense industry and commercial clients. The expansion comes as G&W reaches significant milestones in its business. The company is projected to generate approximately $60 million in sales this year and grow its workforce to more than 200 employees. The new addition will provide G&W Products with additional space to accommodate its expanding operations and position the company for continued growth.

G&W Products’ decision to expand its existing facility demonstrates its continued commitment to growing its operations in Fairfield while contributing to the city’s economy through investment, employment, and manufacturing activity. With construction now underway, G&W Products is building on its existing presence in Fairfield and creating additional capacity for the next chapter of its growth.

Sheep Grazing at the Solar Array

The City of Fairfield has completed its first large-scale renewable energy project with the installation of a 1.5-megawatt solar array at the Wastewater Treatment Plant on Groh Lane. Located on approximately five acres adjacent to the facility, the array includes nearly 3,000 solar panels made with U.S.-manufactured components and is expected to generate approximately 2 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.

The Wastewater Treatment Plant is the largest electricity user among City-owned facilities, treating approximately 5 million gallons of wastewater each day for residential and commercial customers. The solar array is expected to offset approximately 65% of the plant’s annual electricity use, helping reduce reliance on purchased electricity, manage long-term energy costs, and support stable utility rates.

The project represents an important investment in Fairfield’s future and advances a priority identified in the Fairfield Sustains plan to increase the use of on-site renewable energy in municipal operations by 2030. By generating renewable energy locally, the City is reducing emissions while strengthening the resilience and long-term financial sustainability of its operations.
