Pennsylvania-based A.R. Building Co. has secured approvals to start a third project in the city: an 89-unit apartment complex at 22 Georgetown Road. The Planning and Zoning Commission on Thursday approved the coastal site plan and site development plan for the Georgetown Road project, the last major hurdle for the project to move forward. Construction is expected to start in the spring, which is close to the time when A.R. is expected to be completing work at the 98-unit apartment complex at the corner of Howard and Bank streets, the former city-owned land known as Parcel J. Construction crews are working on the brick facade. A.R. had been poised to be the first new development project since the area was cleared in the wake of a decision in the landmark 2005 eminent domain case Kelo v. City of New London, in which the court cleared the way for the city to take homes for the purpose of economic development.
