Project Description: Mutual Housing Association of South Central Connecticut, Inc. (MHA) proposes to construct a 120-unit apartment community complex (“The Villages”) on approximately 12.2 acres of undeveloped wooded land located on the west side of the Norwich New London Turnpike (Route 32) in the Uncasville section of Montville.

The Proposed Action consists of the development of affordable housing units and associated infrastructure in Montville, Connecticut. The proposed housing complex consists of twenty multi-story units, providing one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments. The garden-style multifamily residential buildings range from two to three stories in height and house four to eight units per building. The proposed development also includes construction of a new access road off Route 32 and infrastructure development, surface, a community building, playscape areas, and a maintenance building.
This combined EIE/EA has been prepared for the Proposed Action on behalf of DECD and HUD, the CEPA sponsoring agency and the Federal lead agency, respectively. This document has been prepared in accordance with CEPA, NEPA, and HUD’s implementing regulations at 24 CFR 50. The EIE/EA provides a description of the Proposed Action and its purpose and need, an evaluation of the direct, indirect, and cumulative effects of the No Action Alternative and the Proposed Action, and proposed mitigation measures to eliminate or minimize adverse environmental effects.
