A Southington development firm says it will break ground in the coming months on a $5-million apartment complex in downtown Bristol after receiving a tax abatement and other development approvals from the city. The city council recently approved a multi-year tax abatement for Carrier Construction Inc. to push forward its plan to erect 32 market-rate apartment units in two, three-story buildings on a long-vacant property on Main and Summer streets. Ryan Carrier, a construction manager for Carrier, said the development company will begin demolishing a blighted multi-family home at the six parcel property sometime in May, and will start construction shortly after. He estimates the apartment community will be finished and open for prospective residents in the next 18 months.
