The Planning and Zoning Commission has approved a four-story affordable housing development, citing both the constraints of state statute 8-30g and the vital need for affordable housing stock. The July 16 vote marks a win for New York City-based developer Vessel Technologies, who now has the green light for constructing a 64-unit apartment at 25 Avonwood Road. “Suitable location, it addresses a vital need for affordable housing in Avon, its environmentally friendly, I believe it protects the public health and safety, and the applicant has taken reasonable measures to address the concerns of the commission,” said commission Chair Lisa Levin. With a typical Vessel development construction time of six to nine months, the town could potentially see this development ready next summer.
