A New York-based developer has won approval to build affordable housing on State Street, bringing much-needed assistance to renters amid a statewide shortage of low-cost units. The $26 million project, submitted by Regan Development Corp. and approved at the Hamden Planning and Zoning Commission’s Sept. 20 meeting, includes the construction of 64 units divided among three buildings at 2980 State St. and the addition of infrastructure improvements aimed at making the roadway more pedestrian-friendly. To help offset the cost of the project for the developer, town officials applied for $8 million from the state Community Investment Fund, Garrett said. Gov. Ned Lamont launched the CIF last year to foster economic development in historically underserved communities across the state.
