The developers behind a 129-unit apartment building proposed for Hawley Lane have submitted a new application for the project, more than a year after local officials rejected the controversial building over environmental concerns. Mountain Development Corporation, a New Jersey-based company responsible for the Merritt 8 Corporate Park, is seeking the town’s approval to construct the four-story building on a largely undeveloped plot of land off Hawley Lane. After the denial last year, Mountain Development sued the commission in state court and asked a judge to reverse the decision, claiming the board failed to consider expert testimony that the project would have no significant impact on the local environment. Since then, Mountain Development and land use officials have discussed reaching a settlement in the case that would allow the project to move forward, though no official agreement has yet been made.
