Current hotel, future apartments at 3 Long Wharf.
At Wednesday's online City Plan Commission meeting.
A long-planned transformation of a Long Wharf extended-stay hotel into apartments has cleared a key regulatory hurdle — as city commissioners voted Wednesday night to approve a site plan for converting 112 hotel rooms into residential units.
From APT's site plan application: The location and rendering for the nonprofit's proposed new HQ.
The APT Foundation hopes to begin construction this fall — and complete work by next summer — on a new 40,500 square-foot medical office building, methadone clinic, and pharmacy with 99 on-site parking spaces to be built atop a Sargent Drive lot currently owned by the state.
Those details and more are included in a site plan application submitted by the local healthcare nonprofit to the City Plan Commission about a project that is also the subject of a separate, parallel proposed city land deal.

APT's proposed new Long Wharf HQ, methadone clinic.
The Elicker administration has reached a tentative agreement with the APT Foundation that, if approved by the Board of Alders, would see the city sell a 1.5‑acre plot on Long Wharf to allow for the development of a new 36,000 square-foot medical office building, outpatient treatment facility, and pharmacy.
As part of this deal, the APT Foundation would close its existing methadone clinic on Congress Avenue in the Hill and relocate those operations to its to-be-built new headquarters on Sargent Drive.

A couple dozen people sat at the counter and around the restaurant eating and drinking, some with a blue shot that they could get for free if they showed an “I VOTED” sticker.

Watch out, George Baldwin, that's a sand shark!
Students test for salinity, temperature, and "conductivity."
The traffic from the Q Bridge rumbled overhead, oblivious to the scene below at the mouth of the Quinnipiac and Mill rivers, as two students on a small Sound School boat lowered a piece of scientific equipment into the water, at surface and at depth.
The reason: to continue a years-long project of gathering data about the Mill River and, in turn, foster a better relationship with it.
