On June 19, events across Central Florida and the nation will commemorate the end of slavery in the United States, marking not Jan. 1, 1863, the date when Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation became official, but June 19, 1865 the day more than two years later when the news reached Galveston, Texas, and perhaps the nation’s last enslaved people to learn they had been freed.
The building planned for Spencer Street at Talbot Avenue.
The Zoning Board of Appeal on Tuesday approved two buildings that will house a total of 44 affordable apartments along Talbot and New England avenues.
In one project, the Codman Square Neighborhood Development Corp. will build a 4-story, 19-unit building on part of a former garage and parking lot at Spencer Street and Talbot Avenue. The non-profit is splitting the land with TLee Development, which has its own plans for a 21-unit building right at the corner.
In the other, the non-profit says it will build a 23-unit affordable apartment building at 25 New England Ave., near Mallard Avenue and along the Fairmount Line train tracks.
