STONINGTONÂ â Plans for an 82-unit mixed-income housing project at the site of the former Campbell Grain building in downtown Pawcatuck have been delayed as town officials and developers wait until an in-person town meeting may be held regarding a proposed tax abatement.
Members of the Stonington Board of Selectmen announced last week that, due to the nature of the project and the implications of the proposed abatement on Stonington taxpayers, they will not seek to hold a virtual town meeting on the subject. Instead, the town will wait until pandemic conditions have subsided enough in order to hold an in-person town meeting and receive proper input from residents and business owners in accordance with the townâs charter and state statutes.
