During the initial May 5 Planning Board hearing on the latest downtown project proposed by Archipelago Investments, LLC, a 55-apartment building to be known as 11 East Pleasant, principal Kyle Wilson told planners that the 26 Spring St. project will start up again later this year. The latter project includes 58 apartments.
