One week after the City Council approved bonding $740,000 to fund engineering designs for access roads into a proposed second business park, the Norwich Community Development Corp. on Tuesday approved the hiring of three contractors to do the work and one to seek federal funding for the project. The City Council approved the $740,000 funding Sept. 7 to design new access roads off Interstate 395 at Exit 18 that would serve traffic into the proposed business park. The ramps would have dedicated lanes for traffic into the business park and would be similar to ramps at Interstate 95 at Exit 74 in East Lyme for the Costco development. Prior to the council vote to fund the access road engineering, Norwich Public Utilities had funded $500,000 to pay for purchase options and early studies for the business park.
