About 200 new residencies are expected to be filled by the end of the year, according to Bill Carroll, the city’s director of the Department of Economic Development. “The unexpected growth in residential and businesses is a good sign.” “In some ways, we’re keeping ahead of the curve in terms of getting both residential and commercial projects in,” said Gerry Amodio, executive director for the district. “We’re hoping with the transit system, new businesses and new residential units, we can become integral for people who are looking for a place to live.” Other ongoing and completed residential projects include 222 Main St., Courtland Arms, the Doris Building, the Packard Building, the Berkowitz Building and the Andrews Building.
