A developer is proposing a 100-unit apartment complex with first-floor retail for the landmark Windsor Center Plaza in the heart of Windsor’s village center.
The town of Windsor recently signed off on a $2.5 million state grant request, seeking support for a private redevelopment of a downtown strip mall into 100 apartments and ground-floor retail.
Windsor officials expect the transit-oriented development to breathe new economic vitality into the downtown, providing housing for a growing workforce and taking full advantage of nearby passenger rail.
It is one of 52 applications submitted to the state’s new Connecticut Communities Challenge Grant program ahead of the Jan. 14 deadline.
