Plans were filed this week seeking state and federal approvals for a proposed access road into 384 acres of land in Occum, where Norwich plans to create a second business park. Each of three large condo lots shown on plans filed in the Norwich city clerk’s office shows proposed divisions into smaller pieces. The plan shows a 66-acre condo parcel east of Canterbury Turnpike, a 216-acre piece between Canterbury Turnpike and Lawler Lane running along Interstate 395 and a 27-acre piece west of Lawler Lane. NCDC last week selected the national firm Cushman & Wakefield Commercial Real Estate Brokers, with an office in Hartford, to market the lots. NCDC President Kevin Brown said NCDC officials will meet with the Hartford office Executive Director Sean Duffy on Aug. 16 to discuss marketing ideas. The roadway now needs state and federal environmental approvals and approval from the state Department of Transportation’s Office of State Traffic Administration. NCDC officials hope for quick approvals to start road construction this fall.
