Waterford ― A six-building development with 216 apartments is coming to Myrock Avenue.
The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved the proposed apartment complex named “Waterford Central” .
Waterford Local businessman Scott Gladstone, best known for his ownership interest in several Wireless Zone stores in the region, is the most recent developer to pitch an idea for affordable housing to the Planning and Zoning Commission during a meeting Tuesday night.
The commission is in the middle of drafting an affordable housing plan in an effort to increase the percentage of housing deemed affordable in town by state statute, and developers are showing interest.
Meanwhile, two other affordable housing projects are in preliminary stages. There is the prospect of two apartment buildings on Turnpike Road and small, single-family homes expected on Great Neck Road that are not affordable by statute but Planning Director Abby Piersall said they have the potential for lower price points. She expects applications soon.
