Planning for the Adaptive Reuse of the Norwich State Hospital

Project Description: with associated fee proposals from professional consulting firms and teams to complete a planning study to reimagine the former Norwich State Hospital, which is a gateway to the City from the south, to create a community driven place that works in synergy with the proposed Preston Riverwalk development to be constructed by the Mohegan Tribe. The planning effort will focus on creating a vision for the future redevelopment of the area that will provide a sense of place for City residents and visitors alike. The former hospital property is a prime location for the construction of a live, work, play development that would exist in concert with the neighboring Preston Riverwalk. The Gateway Norwich planning project is intended to provide the community with a blueprint for strategic future growth through public outreach and visioning exercises. Future zoning text amendments are expected to occur based on the study findings
