Paul Pizzo, president of Landmark Architects, made a presentation to the common council’s economic development committee Wednesday night that gave local officials a first look at a reuse of the area between Court Street and Dingwall Drive.
What we’re trying to do right now is bring back people to live in the city and work in the city,” Pizzo said. “More businesses and more people are the lifeblood of a city.”
The plan would put 80 or more apartments at the corner of deKoven and Dingwall drives where Attention to Detail auto shop is now.

Behind it, Landmark would build a 120,000-square-foot commercial building facing Dingwall Drive on the current site of the city’s obsolete parking arcade. The building would provide high-quality office space, and more than 30,000 square feet would be set aside for restaurant and retail space.
