During a recent government meeting, officials opened a public hearing regarding a proposed mixed-use development by Metro Group Properties Inc. The project, which encompasses several addresses on Clinton Street and Hudson Street, aims to construct a structure featuring 288 residential units alongside ground-floor commercial space.

A key point of discussion was the parking situation associated with the development. Officials confirmed that the project will provide a total of 292 parking spots, ensuring adequate off-street parking for residents and additional spaces for commercial use. This plan is designed to accommodate the needs of both residents and future retail tenants.

Community concerns were raised during the public hearing, particularly regarding the management of the large building and its tenants. A resident, Mark G. from Oak Street, expressed apprehension about the management capabilities for such a sizable structure, referencing past issues with property management in the area. He emphasized the importance of responsible oversight to ensure the well-being of tenants and the surrounding community.

The meeting concluded with officials acknowledging the concerns raised and indicating that the applicant would address these issues in their response. No additional public comments or letters were submitted to the planning department prior to the hearing, suggesting a limited immediate response from the community regarding the project.
