Merritt Village Developer Resists Suggestions to Scale Back Project

NEW CANAAN, CT—Planning and Zoning members suggested the possibility of scaling back the 120-unit Merritt Village proposal after some concerns were shared by community members, but the developer resisted the suggestion.

Developer Arnold Karp gave no indication he'd be willing to compromise and that the high cost of land in town coupled with elevator-access and underground parking necessitated the project density in order to make profit objectives.
