Norwich helps usher in a new “Golden Age”
NORWICH – The Golden Age Apartments have all but had the finishing touches put on a nearly $1 million structural improvement project that began last summer.
With financial assistance from Liberty Affordable Housing, a non-profit agency that helps retain affordable living in communities across the state, Golden Age’s two complexes and 100 apartments received two elevators, new carpeting wall-to-wall, new hot water systems, new air conditioners, re-done bathrooms, vinyl windows and new appliances, among other additions.
Building managers took time Thursday to thank their residents, Liberty Housing and local officials for their support during a luncheon in the remodeled Golden Age community room.
Golden Age’s residents say they’re more than pleased with upgrades.
“ I love it,” said resident Elsie Voorhis. “Everything is really nice. I love my new stove – this is just wonderful.”
George and Pearl Hitchcock agreed.
“I’m happy for the elevators, for one,” George said. “We’ve got new rugs and everybody’s got new air conditioners now, it’s good.”
Representatives from Commercial Residential Management Inc., which operates Golden Age Apartments, praised the residents for their patience during the overhaul.
“It’s just amazing to see what has transpired. There’s been a lot of communication, there’s been a lot of cooperation and there’s been a lot of teamwork,” said Diane Ackerman, a representative from CRM. “I’m so proud of the residents. You were all so wonderful and so patient. You were the best team we had.”
CRM’s Executive Vice President John Varecka said this project is the first of its kind since the facility opened on Mechanic Street in 1972.
“We knew there would be difficult times,” said Varecka. “We were very fortunate this took place.”
Golden Age is home to 100 senior residents, and is located centrally in downtown Norwich.
