NORWICH – Approximately 30 members of the public and city officials attended a ribbon cutting Friday to mark the completion of the first of what’s to become six duplexes of the Brown Avenue Homes. The homes, conceived, designed, developed and funded through the Norwich Housing Authority (NHA), will serve as affordable and accessible housing for seniors. City leaders praised NHA Executive Director Judy Wingate-Wade and NHA board members for their long-standing dedication to the project over the past eight years.
