Connecticut Environmental Policy Act (CEPA) Determination: On December 6, 2022, the Department of Economic and Community Development published a Notice of Scoping to solicit public comments for this proposed Elmwood Lofts Project in the Environmental Monitor.

No comments from the public were received during the public comment period.  Comments were received from the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.  DECD’s responses to the comments from CT DEEP are included in the Environmental Review Checklist.
