GREAT BARRINGTON â Central Berkshire Habitat for Humanity wants to build a cluster of up to 20 homes on a sliver of town-owned land off Route 41 in Housatonic.
The project would create the townâs first homes designated as affordable â nearly half of the units would be reserved for households making 80 percent or less of the areaâs median income.
The town acquired the 7.5-acre parcel, known as the Alden property, last year for $175,000, and entrusted its development to the Great Barrington Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The Habitat proposal was the only one submitted for the site.
The formal vetting of the plan got underway Friday, when the board heard details about the plan via Zoom. Habitat is proposing 14 to 20 homes at varying costs, to be built in phases, said Carolyn Valli, Habitatâs CEO. It would begin with seven homes, and more would be added gradually, in collaboration with Construct Inc. and the community.
