The Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a virtual public hearing at 7 p.m. Tuesday on a special permit application to construct an 82-unit apartment building on the former Campbell Grain building site in downtown Pawcatuck. Plans call for a five-story, 116,000-square-foot building building with parking under the building and on site and a riverfront walkway with public access. The almost two-acre site is at the end of Coggswell Street, is bordered by the Amtrak line and has 240 feet of frontage along the Pawcatuck River. The Economic Development Commission, which has supported the $30 million project, has said affordable housing is needed here to meet a growing demand in the region. The EDC has also said the project will generate $500,000 in tax revenue for the town and will enhance downtown Pawcatuck as a walkable neighborhood with proximity to shops, restaurants, parks, the library, transportation, and other amenities.
