(Host) Consultants are looking at reusing the upper floors of the state office complex in Waterbury as one option for housing state workers displaced by Irene flooding.

The president of Freeman French Freeman, a Burlington-based architectural firm, told a Senate committee Wednesday that the firm is on schedule to report on the costs and feasibility of four proposals by March 2nd.

The proposals include returning to the Waterbury complex, returning and selling or leasing some of the space, building new office space elsewhere or a combination of those.

About 1,500 state workers were displaced from the office complex by flooding from Tropical Storm Irene.
