ORLEANS – Orleans is on an accelerated track o decide whether to purchase the Governor Prence Inn and use it for affordable housing.
Town meeting voters in October agreed to spend up to $29,900 on a feasibility study to determine the best uses of the property, and Orleans has hired the Barrett Planning Group to conduct it. The group must report back to the Select Board by Jan. 29.
Orleans entered a letter of intent with the owners that will allow the town to negotiate a purchase and sale agreement by the May town meeting, pending the outcome of the feasibility study.
The Governor Prence Inn operated on Route 6A in downtown Orleans from 1959 to 2019. It didn’t open last year due to the pandemic and the owners approached the town about a possible purchase.
