Now at Enfield Square Mall, Nebraska-based Woodsonia Real Estate this week said it wants to move forward on its plan to demolish most of it and build hundreds of apartments and fresh retail businesses. Local officials are hoping a broad-scale redevelopment of the 72-acre property will generate jobs, create badly needed housing, beef up Enfield’s tax base and restore vibrancy to a showcase property that’s become rundown and dreary. Woodsonia is asking for a zoning change Thursday night to consolidate the development rules for a series of parcels that make up the mall property, and at the same time has updated its master plan for what it calls the Enfield Marketplace. Earlier this year Gov. Ned Lamont’s administration put forward $10 million toward the project, which Woodsonia has estimated would run $250 million in all.
