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 December 13th through December 27th, site work will wrap up for the winter. Framing work will be on going with installation of wall panels on the 3rd and 4th floors. A slight increase of delivery and commuter traffic will occur within the vicinity of the site, due to the start of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work. Businesses directly adjacent to the Hutchins Street construction site are open for business.
