a hotel may finally be in store for east windsor.
the city’s development committee on monday backed plans for a four-storey hotel on centelon drive — near lauzon parkway and meadowbrook park – with 71 guest rooms, as well as a separate one-storey public hall.
the vacant lot is currently zoned as a manufacturing district. without debate, the committee endorsed a staff recommendation to change the property’s zoning to commercial.
“it’s a great development — we’ve talked about a hotel out in the east end for a long time, so this is great to see it come forward,” committee chair and ward 10 coun. jim morrison told reporters after the meeting.
“if there’s a big event at the wfcu arena, this is where people can stay. there’s a hall that looks kind of like other halls that we have, like the caboto and the ciociaro. i think this is a great amenity for out in the east end.”
the zoning change is still subject to final approval from city council as a whole.
morrison noted that another new hotel, hyatt place, opened in the city’s west end a few months ago.
“we have a lot of people wanting to come here for tourism and for events, and so this, this is great,” morrison said. “it’s showing that we are still really a growing, vibrant city, and we’re attracting people to the region.”

also on monday, the development committee supported plans for a four-storey apartment with 36 units and 47 parking spots at the northeast corner of tecumseh road east and benjamin avenue. in order for the project to go ahead, council must amend the property’s commercial zoning to allow for a multiple dwelling.
