A former factory site in the Hill section will soon be home to 150 affordable apartments. The city plans to use nearly $1 million in state grant funds to help a developer demolish four old buildings to clear the way. The $995,600 grant, which Gov. Ned Lamont announced in December, will pay a portion of the demolition and remediation costs for the former Electrix Illumination architectural lighting property at Liberty, Putnam and Spring streets. The developer, 10 Liberty Street Owners LLC, received City Plan Commission approval in 2022 to build a five-story apartment building at 10 Liberty St. It will have 150 units available to people who earn up to 80 percent of the area median income. Cortell, of Maplewood, N.J., said he expects the remediation and demolition covered by the grant to take about six months. Actual new construction is likely to begin in the spring of 2025 and take two years to complete.
