Meriden Approves Development Deal for Former Record-Journal Building

MERIDEN, CT - The former home for Meriden's newspaper of record is slated to become a residential development.

The City Council Monday approved a plan by New Jersey-based Michaels Organization to develop 11 Crown St., which once housed the Meriden Record-Journal, into an 81-unit housing complex.

Reporter Molly Callahan of the Record-Journal writes that 57 of the development's units would be considered affordable, while the rest would be more expensive. The complex also would hold 15,000 of commercial space.

Meriden bought the property for $495,000 in 2014.
