They plan to build 1900 housing units (good luck with that) on the LSS property.. Per the LDS...
"While it is the developer’s intention to build types of housing geared to a range of income levels, Trefethen stressed “this is not Section 8 or low-cost housing.”
Given current construction costs, Trefethen estimated that individual housing units could cost between $200,000 to $350,000."
No doubt those numbers have increased substantially. The developer that won the bid, just had a property go to foreclosure in Manchester.
The LSS is a missed opportunity... especially for low income types.
