Design plans for the proposed redevelopment project at 185 Morris St. in Morristown will be presented for neighbors’ feedback on April 17.
Hosted by the town and Leona Developers LLC, the meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. in the third-floor seniors center at town hall, at 200 South St.
Peter Cippolini and Joseph Lobozzo, principals of Leona Development LLC, got the town council’s unanimous approval in February to submit plans to erect 30 “stacked townhomes” on about 1.3 scrubby acres between Morris Street and NJ Transit tracks.
Preliminary plans call for three, 2 1/2 story structures of 10 units apiece, to be built in three phases over about two years. The units would sell for around $300,000 each; some might be rentals, according to Steve Meiterman, operations manager for the project.
Town officials hope the project near the train station will become a pedestrian-friendly model for other developments.
