BETHEL Developers Tony Donovan and Gerry O’Connell are poised to help revitalize downtown Bethel following approval of the $10 million Residences at Bethel Station project.
Bethel Planning Board members voted Jan. 6 to approve the site plan for the 38-unit condominium development, which emphasizes walkability and open space to boost the viability of restoring passenger rail service at Bethel Station.
Bethel Station Residence Development purchased the 7.08-acre site at 23 Cross St. in March of 2020. Donovan, of Spectrum Real Estate in Portland, and O’Connell, of Keller Williams Coastal Realty in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, are shareholders and heading the project, which will result in hundreds of construction jobs.
