Developers of 'Latitude' anticipate occupancy in 2014.
In 2012, the Speedwell Redevelopment Plan was finally approved. In 2013, work on its first phase is expected to begin, to make way for occupation next year. Mill Creek Residential announced Wednesday it had closed on its purchase of Phase I of the Speedwell Redevelopment project. This land purchase paves the way for development of "Latitude," dubbed "a luxury rental apartment development that will further enhance Morristown as a pedestrian-friendly, destination community," according to a press release. Latitude will consist of a single building with 268 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom rental units with a 357-space parking garage incorporated into the structure, "as well as a host of lifestyle amenities," according to the release.

Councilwoman Rebecca Feldman, however, expressed displeasure with the plan before casting the lone 'no' vote Thursday night.
An amendment to Phase IV of the Speedwell Redevelopment Plan allowing a CVS Pharmacy to be built on the site of a former used car dealership was approved Thursday night, but not before one council member let her disappoval be known. Rebecca Feldman, the lone Independent council member among the majority of Democrats and one Republican, cast the only "no" vote for a project the First Ward representative said the town had rushed too quickly to approve, fearing nothing else would come along. "There is a sense of desperation surrounding the way this decision is being made—a fear that a long-vacant property will remain empty," Feldman read from a prepared statement. "In reality, within six months of our signing Mill Creek’s redevelopment …

Residents and members of town historical preservation commission spoke out this week about design, sustainability elements of plan.
While there is still some time before the proposal for a CVS at Spring Street and Speedwell Avenue again goes before the town, several residents aired concerns this week over the present design. Residents and members of the Morristown Historical Preservation Commission spoke at both Tuesday's Town Council meeting and at the Thursday redevelopment meeting, where an update had been scheduled on the CVS Project Redevelopment Area but was tabled. Marion Harris, vice chair of the preservation commission, noted Thursday that a meeting between developers and her group was expected to be scheduled sometime after Oct. 19, when preservation commission chair Ken Miller would be back from vacation. On Tuesday, Harris said the project "maybe needs a …

Pharmacy would move into vacant buildings at corner of Spring Street and Speedwell Avenue
The Morristown Redevelopment Agency Thursday heard a proposal from CVS that would covert the abandoned auto dealer’s buildings at Spring Street and Speedwell Avenue into a new pharmacy. The plan is aimed at a parcel that was originally to be developed in Phase 4 of the Speedwell Redevelopment project that would transform the north side of Morristown. But, John Inglesino, the redevelopment agency’s attorney, said CVS approached the town and the owner of the property with a plan to replace the vacant buildings with a new store. The property transfer could take place by November, and if the CVS application is approved, a new store could be on the site by August 2013. To move forward, the town needs to agree to divide Phase 4 of the larger …
