Farmington is looking at a moratorium to stop the flow of proposals for mid- and large-size multifamily buildings until planners can study ways to get a better percentage of affordable apartments.
With a plethora of stately homes and modest dwellings, both new and old, Farmington’s housing stock includes options for people at different stages of life, at various price points as long as they’re willing to take out a mortgage.
The dearth of multifamily construction in this town where business is booming has made it difficult for people seeking to relocate without the means or inclination to buy property, developers say.
