A dozen New York City-based developers, investors, and local city officials dug in and tossed ceremonial shovels full of dirt — as a team of hard-hatted construction workers behind them continued transforming a 13-acre former contaminated industrial site into 398 new places to live. In the next 18 months, the New York City-based construction firm Hudson Meridian plans to have built a new six-story, 377-unit apartment complex, 21 new townhouses along Munson Street, 474 surface and garage parking spaces, and a green expanse of lawn sloping up in the direction of Shelton Avenue. Steve Calicchio, who is Hudson Meridian’s project executive for 201 Munson, said that there are currently around 80 construction workers working at the development site. At the height of construction in the months ahead, he said, there should be between 200 and 300 construction workers on site at any given time.
