WATERBURY – Fresh off his victory over Republican Dawn Maiorano, Democratic Mayor-elect Paul Pernerewski Jr. said there will be no honeymoon period as he plans on getting straight to work after he’s sworn in on Dec. 1.

He said he’ll offer incentives like tax breaks to encourage businesses – primarily small ones – to relocate to Waterbury and to stay in the city. He said a number of organizations could help the effort – like the Women’s Business Development Council, a non-profit that provides funding to businesses that have been established in the city for at least a year.
