- Adding housing option in Windsor Locks is good for the town
On Friday afternoon, State Rep. Tami Zawistowski joined Windsor Locks First Selectman Jonathan Savino, Rep. Jane Garibay, State Senator John Kissel, Governor Ned Lamont and Connecticut Housing Commissioner Seila Mosquera-Bruno for the official announcement of a combined $12.1 million grant from the Department of Economic Development, Department of Housing, and Connecticut Housing Finance Authority, to aid brownfield remediation and construction of a 70-unit mixed income housing development adjacent to the new CTrail Hartford Line train station in Windsor Locks.
"This is a great news for Windsor Locks and this grant moves this project one step closer to revitalizing this incredibly important area. The improvements will provide easy access to transportation and retail opportunities for dozens of residents and families, as well as expanding opportunities for small businesses," Rep. Zawistowski, who serves on the legislature's Transportation Committee said.
The grant will facilitate the next steps in the demolition and construction of the 255 Main St. property, a transit-oriented development (TOD) project which is expected to bring 120 mixed-income housing units and 4,000 square feet of commercial space.
