*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 August 29 through September 23, demolition and soot mitigation will be completed on all floors, and reconstruction work will begin. Electricians, HVAC contractors, plumbers, and insulators will be working on reconstruction inside the building. Crews will be working on the exterior of the building to demo 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. Additional storage containers will be stored in the public parking lot adjacent to the project site. Minor equipment will be utilized outside the building including a generator, forklift, and mini excavator. 10+ 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.
