*VILLAGE CENTER APARTMENTS SUMMARY: Located on Hutchins Street in Morrisville, Village Center Apartments transforms an unused, infill lot into 24 income eligible, affordable rental apartments designated for lower and moderate income earning households. The all-electric building consists of a mixture of studios, one, and two bedroom rental apartments with monthly rental rates that range from $650 - $1,000 including heat and utilities. 

*4 WEEK COMMUNITY PROJECTION: During weeks of September 26 through October 10, ice blasting and soot mitigation work will be completed in the origin room. Remediation contractors will demobilize from the site. Electricians, HVAC contractors, plumbers, and insulators will be working on reconstruction inside the building of floors 3 and 4. Crews will be working on the exterior of the building to replace the damaged siding, insulation, and air barrier on the West elevation. A separate crew will be working to install cement board siding on the South elevation. Minor equipment will be utilized outside the building including a generator, forklift, and man lift. 10-15 workers on site on a given day. During this time, impacts to Morrisville outside the construction site should be minimal. Businesses directly adjacent to the Hutchins Street construction site are open for business.
