Mill Creek Residential Trust expects to finish Phase I in about a year and a half.
In a little over a year, expect to see a new apartment community on Early Street. Mill Creek Residential Trust began demolishing homes and removing debris and brush in January to clear the land at 32 Early St., which will become the new location of Latitude, luxury rentals. Now that demolition has finished, construction will begin, marked by a groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday. “It does take a lot of time, but when you get it right, you break ground. It’s wonderful to be a part of a community that continues to grow,” Mayor Tim Dougherty said at the ceremony. “There were times that were difficult because Morristown comes first, not the developer. I think that the developer, Mill Creek, understood that that was our belief … (and that) is …

Developers of parcel at Speedwell Avenue and Spring Street expect to break ground on 15,000-square-foot pharmacy sometime this year.
With site plan approval Thursday night for CVS after a nearly-four-hour Planning Board meeting, developers indicated their intent to break ground sometime this year. Shortly before 11:30 p.m., the Board almost unanimously voted in favor of the plan, with only board member Michael Pooler "abstaining." Pooler had cited his concern with certain traffic issues, particularly the developer's reluctance to prohibit left-hand turns into the property from Spring Street for more hours than already agreed. The site plan approval Thursday follows the town's redevelopment agency approval in December to modify a portion of Phase IV of the Speedwell Redevelopment Plan already approved for up to 45,000 square feet of retail space and about 150 residential…

Several Early Street houses and Department of Public Works building to be demolished, making way for 268-unit apartment building.
The temporary fence is up and workers are working in the bitter cold on the first part of the first phase of the Speedwell Redevelopment project. Several houses on Early Street have been fenced off for a couple weeks as the area is cleared of brush, old oil tanks and any other debris. A worker on the site Wednesday said this would pave the way for the houses and Department of Public Works building behind them on Clinton Street to be demolished, sometime in the next couple weeks. That is when the area is poised to see a bit of disturbance. "They will be ripping up all the sidewalks and utilities," Business Administrator Michael Rogers said. "It will be a major undertaking once they start." With Morristown High School nearby, a pedestrian …

The introduced project will next go to Planning Board on Dec. 6, then back to Redevelopment Agency on Dec. 13 for final approval.
Town Council—acting as the Morristown Redevelopment Agency—approved the introduction of the CVS Pharmacy development at Speedwell Avenue and Spring Street Thursday night. The project, which would be built on the site long ago occupied by a used car dealership but for years abandoned, was approved for introduction 6-1, with Council Vice President Rebecca Feldman opting to abstain. The plan is now expected to go before the Planning Board at its Dec. 6 meeting, who then will look to see that it conforms to the town's master plan. If all goes well, it would then return to the Redevelopment Agency on Dec. 13 for final adoption. The CVS represents an amendment to part of Phase IV of the Speedwell Redevelopment Plan, which was approved earlier …
