Plans for senior housing in Medfield proceed
MEDFIELD – A bid to increase senior housing in town has drawn one step closer.
During the Board of Selectmen’s meeting on March 23, the board voted 2-0, with Osler Peterson recusing himself, to direct the town administrator, town counsel and the Affordable Housing Trust to begin negotiations with Medfield Holdings LLC to develop Hinkley South, the town-owned parcel off Ice House Road, into 20 units of age-restricted housing.
According to documents from Medfield Holdings provided to the town, 25% of the units will be reserved for seniors 62 and older earning less than 80% of the area median income.
