A state highway no longer separates residents of a Cromwell subdivision from the rest of the town.

The $200 million housing and commercial development received fast-track approval under the Covid-19 Recovery (Fast-track Consenting) Act in 2021 and at its completion, anticipated to be 2025, will be home to 380 homes — about 800 people.
