A Boston-based developer has unveiled plans for 82 mixed income apartments on the site of the former Campbell Grain Building site. Winn Companies, which builds and manages similar projects across the country, outlined the $30 million project at the end of Coggswell Street to the Economic Development Commission during a virtual meeting Monday night. A virtual public presentation is slated for July 29 at 5:30 p.m. Winn’s attorney for the project, Bill Sweeney of New London, said the project would require the town to grant about a half dozen variances and waivers of requirements such as those governing height, density and a project with all multi-family residential use. He also indicated Winn would be taking advantage of state affordable housing law that allows such projects to be built without meeting all zoning requirements. Winn’s plan is to seek local zoning approval this summer and fall; in November apply for financing from the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority and Department of Housing, and begin construction in the November of 2021. The project would be complete in April of 2023.
