A portion of the redevelopment of the former University of Connecticut campus in town will go before the Town Council for a public hearing on March 11. Newly submitted plans also signal a name change for the development. Previously called Oakwood Park, developer West Hartford 1 LLC has changed the community’s name to Heritage Park, which they said they did after feedback from residents. West Hartford’s Town Council has been pushing for more affordable housing units in recent housing developments that have come in front of them and the town is still in the process of finalizing and approving its new and updated affordable housing plan. As of the town’s most recent report, just under 8 percent of its housing stock is considered affordable housing. West Hartford has a goal of reaching 10 percent over the coming years.
