In a recent government meeting, the application for a major modification to the development plans at Fountain Square, LLC, was discussed. The proposal, identified as Application 20 414, seeks to amend the initial development concept for the property located at 745 to 795 Ridgeport Avenue.

Dominic Thomas, representing Fountain Square, outlined significant changes to the project, which include the removal of a proposed hotel and office building. Instead, the new plans propose the construction of a specialty grocery store spanning approximately 13,800 square feet and a residential apartment building with 100 units.

The application was officially accepted for review on July 10, 2024, and the detailed plans are available for public inspection at the planning and zoning office. The property is bordered by Enterprise Drive to the north, Patrol Avenue to the south, Bridgeport Avenue to the east, and Parrot Drive to the west.

This modification reflects a shift in the development strategy for the area, aiming to enhance local amenities and residential options. Further discussions and public hearings will likely follow as the review process continues.
