A plan to raze the former Travel Inn Motel and a plot of land owned by Seaside Lumber and replace the properties with a 91-unit senior citizen apartment complex has received final approval from the Seaside Heights Planning Board.<\/p>\n

The board memorialized a resolution approving a final site plan for the project over the last few weeks, officials said.<\/p>\n

The apartment complex, which will be income-restricted, is slated to be built on the site of the former Travel Inn motel in Seaside Heights, which is now closed. Previously known as the Village Inn and Travelodge, the motel site was declared an area in need of redevelopment last year by the borough council, the first step toward potential condemnation. The site is located at the corner of Bay Boulevard and Hamilton Avenue.<\/p>\n

Walters Group, the developer of the proposed Seaside Senior Apartments, is expected to begin construction on the project after the new year, officials said. Funding for the project will come from federal and state affordable housing sources.<\/p>\n

Walters Group, based in Barnegat, received approval in August under the state\u2019s Coastal Area Facilities Review Act to build the 91-unit apartment complex, which will be open to senior citizens whose incomes meet affordable housing requirements \u2013 likely about $60,000 or less.<\/p>\n

Borough Administrator Christopher Vaz said Walters Group is still in the process of obtaining federal and state funding to finance the project, and as soon as that is finalized, construction will begin.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re hoping that the building will come down sometime between January and April, and then they\u2019ll start construction,\u201d Vaz said earlier this fall.<\/p>\n
