Looking to capitalize on housing for temporary and traveling workers in southeastern Connecticut, a New Jersey company is proposing to build a 122-room WoodSpring Suites hotel at the border with New London on Boston Post Road, it told the Planning and Zoning Commission on Tuesday. Commission Chair Gregory Massad, who asked Seven Hills to make the informal presentation so commissioners could note any initial concerns, said his main issue was the potential impact on neighbors in the mixed-use commercial and residential area. Massad said he felt more comfortable with the idea after seeing the project’s presentation, which is currently being reviewed by the Conservation Commission for a wetlands permit. Sweeney said they are required to consider all approved and pending projects in their traffic review, and would make sure the new condos were taken into account.
