Westford: Stony Brook Phase II poised for construction
WESTFORD --- With $2.2 million in state funding awarded this fall, the town's efforts to develop some of its public lands with housing will soon take another step forward as Common Ground Development Corp. of Lowell is preparing to break ground with phase II of Stony Brook Village. This phase will result in 36 affordable units, 12 of which will be affordable to households below 30 percent of median income. The rental homes will complement the 15 units built on the property back in 2006. The town is also supporting the project with $400,000 in local funds.
This fall, the state's Department of Housing and Community Development awarded $2.2 million to an emergent Westford development called Residences at Stony Brook Phase 2. The funds solidified the construction of 36 additional housing units on the Stony Brook School campus where 15 residences already exist.
One-third of the one-, two-, and three-bedroom rental units, housed among seven buildings, will be priced below market rates to make them affordable for those earning less than 30 percent of the area's median income.
