VILLAGE CENTER APARTMENTS SUMMARY: Located on Hutchins Street in downtown Morrisville, Village Center Apartments transforms an unused, infill lot into 24 units of income eligible, affordable rental apartments designated for our community’s lower and moderate income earning residents. The all-electric building consists of a mixture of studios, one, and two bedroom rental apartments with monthly rental rates that will range from $650 to $1,000 including heat and utilities.
3 WEEK COMMUNITY PROJECTION: Between the weeks of October 11th through October 25th, Neagly & Chase Construction's crews will continue forming the building’s foundation walls and begin excavation of street level concrete walls and footings. Walker Construction will begin excavation and installation of new water and electric utilities. Foundation waterproofing will also continue. Vertical construction is on the horizon, and the site is being prepared for crane delivery. Residents and business owners near the project site can expect: construction machinery, increased truck traffic hauling excavated materials away from the site and new materials to the jobsite, tractor trailers delivering equipment and concrete shoring blocks, tri-axel dump trucks hauling materials, heavy equipment operating on excavation work, general earthwork noise, diesel engines operating, back up alarms and dump gates closing.
