Hill Alder Carmen Rodriguez: The Hill's happening.
Two affordable housing developments are a step closer to materializing in the Hill, along with the nearby revival of the old Coliseum site, thanks to approvals from the Board of Alders.
Alders voted unanimously Tuesday night to approve the following three items:
- A $995,600 Municipal Brownfield Grant from the state Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) to demolish and remediate the former Electrix lighting factory at 10 Liberty St. The city will pass this funding over to developer LMDX, which plans to build 150 units of below-market housing at the site.

- The sale of a city-owned vacant lot at 756 – 762 Congress Ave. to Denise Keyes for $43,025. Keyes plans to build 20 below-market apartments there, geared toward elderly tenants. Read more here.
- Another state Municipal Brownfield Grant, worth $999,000, to clean up 265 South Orange St., on the border of Downtown and the Hill where the historic New Haven Coliseum once stood. The city will pass that funding onto developer Ancora Partners, which plans to construct a biotech center there. Read more here.
Hill South Alder Carmen Rodriguez, whose ward includes the forthcoming Coliseum revival and 10 Liberty St. projects, celebrated the approvals on Tuesday night — especially the Liberty Street housing, which she said would “make sure our residents are able to stay in the area.”
The three projects advanced on Tuesday are part of an influx of commercial and residential projects proposed for the Hill, in close proximity to the train station and Yale-New Haven Hospital. Other expected developments include the old Church Street South housing complex, a planned revitalization of Union Station, and another residential building by developer Randy Salvatore, new housing slated for Congress and Davenport, and the redevelopment of a former Hill Co-Op.
“It’s a very exciting time,” Rodriguez said. “I’m happy to see that the Hill’s the place to be.”
Its a very exciting time, Rodriguez said. Im happy to see that the Hills the place to be.
It will be the the place to be alright.It will be the place to be for the new residents who will be moving in to apartments from New York New Jersey and college students who parents can afford to pay the high rents for these apartments.
Let me close with this.
As the push out of the poor and working poor.You Must Remember the Traitorous Charlatans and Scoundrels who have sold there souls to the the developers who pumped cash into places they had long spurned.And with the Help of good for nothing butter biscuit chicken leg back door Judas Goats leaders.
Mark 8:36 KJV: For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
No shame hast the Judas Goat!!
And this is a fact!!!!
