When a project to demolish and replace the 81-year-old Ablett Village goes before the Camden Planning Board on August 31, it will be the largest piece of an overall $150-million project that is transforming public housing in the Cramer Hill section.
The Michaels Organization, the Camden-based developer leading the project, will present the board with proposals for final site plans for both phases of the Ablett Village project.
That project calls for constructing 12 new buildings containing 78 new townhomes in the first phase and 18 new buildings containing 144 new townhomes in the second phase.
The apartment building will include a health and wellness center for its residents and will be programmed by Virtual Health and the Rutgers-Camden School of Nursing, he added. Two exam rooms will accommodate physical exams and other health and wellness services.
