Expansion Planned for Covenant Village of Cromwell

CROMWELL, CT (February 14, 2019) – A $48 million expansion at Covenant Village of Cromwell (CVOC) will include 54 one- and two-bedroom apartments and a new Town Center.

The Town Center will include three dining venues, an art studio, wellness center, and event center. So far, 87 percent of the new apartments have been sold.

Groundbreaking ceremonies are scheduled for Thursday, February 21. Participants will include Terri Cunliffe, Covenant Retirement Communities (CRC) president and chief executive officer, and Cromwell mayor Enzo Faienza.
