Ned Lamont’s speech in Windsor Locks; he stepped over to a public area for a bike path and continued shouting; said his three-year-old daughter does not need a mask — Christopher Keating (@chrispkeating)Thursday’s news conference was held to celebrate the completion of a $62 million project to redevelop the former Montgomery Mill into apartments. The complex, within walking distance of the train station, is 96% occupied and includes 65 units reserved for low-income tenants. Some residents of the building are earning more than $100,000 per year, while others earn little in the mixed-income development.The development created 264 jobs and $92 million in economic activity, officials said. Work will begin on a refurbished train station — essentially adjacent to the complex’s parking lot — next year on the west side of the nearby Windsor Locks Canal.As it happensGet the latest updates on Coronavirus and other breaking news events happening across Connecticut &gt; AdvertisementPublic opinion polls have shown strong support for Lamont’s handling of the pandemic, but critics — some of whom now refer to him as “King Ned” — have argued that the governor has amassed too much power since declaring a public health emergency in March that was recently extended through February.
