One city official gets happy as Forest City readies apartments in downtown Haverhill:
The first apartments of 305 in the downtown complex being built by Forest City, a development company, are almost ready to rent, said William Pillsbury, Haverhill's economic development director.
"They have a model unit that's completed," Pillsbury said last week, adding that the company expects to take prospective renters on a tour of the model soon.
He said the company expects to have its first apartments rented by late November or shortly after that.
Forest City is building the apartments in several old shoe factories in the area of Locke Street.

Pillsbury said he is happy to see Forest City investing elsewhere in the Merrimack Valley, as in the Lawrence project at the Newark Paper Mill off Canal Street. Forest City plans to build 300 upscale apartments there.Pillsbury said he expects Lawrence officials will be happy with the way Forest City operates. It is a family-owned and family-run company that cooperates with local officials.
NoLandGrab: The family's ability to cooperate happily with local officials is Forest City's hallmark.
