  Dan Bertram, BRT's executive vice president, said tax incentives are given across the country as a "well-accepted" method to spur economic development, especially in the current economy.
  
  "The general environment is tough right now," Bertram said."These kind of incentives are a way to keep projects going."
  
  Bertram declined to comment on the progress of talks between his company and Avalon about the Kennedy Avenue/Main Street project.

  BROOKFIELD -- Barnbeck Place will get water and Dan Bertram, BRT General Corp.'s chief operating officer, hopes that soon means a steady stream of customers for the adult living community on Federal Road.
  
  "I am thrilled about this progress," said Bertram of news the town is moving forward to put a water system along Federal Road from Orchard Street to the Barnbeck property near Route 133.
  ...
  Bertram said BRT signed an agreement with the town and Brookfield Water and Rural Water to commit money to the project.
  
  A couple of years ago, BRT applied to the Department of Public Health and the Department of Public Utility Control to drill wells on the site for a Barnbeck Place water system, but the state didn't want more small water companies popping up in town and would not approve it.
  
  Already there are more than 150 companies in Brookfield.If there are 25 or more homes or businesses using one well, the group becomes a water company.
  
  "For the longest time we had started (Barnbeck Place), but couldn't keep going because we needed water," Bertram said.
  
  Although the development had approvals from all the required town boards, BRT couldn't market it because it didn't know where its water would come from.
  
  "Now we can flash the neon lights," Bertram said.

  However, The News-Times has learned BRT's Dan Bertram has been in negotiations with Avalon Communities Inc., a company specializing in high-end apartments.
  
  "All I can say is that we've been in negotiations with Avalon, and that is as far as I can take it right now," Bertram said."We're excited about an important urban renewal project in downtown Danbury."
  
  Avalon representatives did not return a call for comment by deadline Thursday.
  
  Whether Bertram is talking about teaming with Avalon or selling the property outright is not known.
  ...
  Bertram declined to discuss why he entered negotiations with Avalon.

  The deal essentially allows BRT to pay taxes as if the property had never been developed, said Dan Bertram, BRT's executive vice president.
  ...
  Bertram, the developer, said the tax break was obviously needed because the property stayed empty for years."It was blight.No one wanted to touch it."
  
  Bertram said the property wasn't marketed to college students from the start, because he never thought to market it that way.
  
  The plan changed when he learned about a housing shortage at Western Connecticut State University.
  
  "The university is a jewel in the Danbury market.I'm proud to have helped them," Bertram said.
  ...
  "We are investing about $110 million downtown," Bertram said.

  "We are going to build affordable housing in Middlebury," said Daniel Bertram, executive vice president of BRT Development in Danbury, the company that applied to build the 286-unit complex called Forest Walk in 2001.
  ...
  The company is analyzing how to proceed and may appeal, Bertram said.
  ...
  Even during the legal process, BRT tried to compromise with the town, Bertram said.
  ...
  "It's hard to get an actual review on the project itself or the wetlands impact," Bertram said."It's all about putting up a barrier to this kind of development."
  
  Affordable housing can be constructed in an attractive and environmentally responsible way, he added.He said BRT plans to demonstrate that in Middlebury."It's going to be a great community when we get it built," he said.
