A Rhode Island developer says construction could begin as early as Oct. 1 in Avon’s center on the initial phase of a long-awaited residential, office and retail complex that when fully complete will represent an investment “north of $200 million.” Carpionato Group, of Johnston, R.I., received unanimous approval July 31 from Avon’s planning and zoning commission to commence with constructing the first of 11 buildings totaling about 300,000 square feet on 61 acres of Avon Village Center’s 96 acres near the intersection of Albany Turnpike/Route 44 and Hopmeadow Road/Route 10.
