Mystic — The Stonington Planning and Zoning Commission approved plans late tonight for a 245-unit assisted living complex on a portion of Coogan Farm.

Morningside Management of Virginia and BROM Builders of Norwich plan to build Mystic Preserve Senior Living on 18 acres of the farm property, which would be accessed from the end of Clara Drive, the road that leads to McQuade’s Marketplace.

Another 11 acres would be preserved as open space; the Trust for Public Land and the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center have reached a preliminary agreement to purchase 34 acres of the farm so it, too, can be preserved as open space.

The project would create an estimated 125 jobs and $400,000 in annual tax revenue for the town, making it Stonington’s second-largest taxpayer after the nearby StoneRidge retirement community.
