$5M Towards Affordable Housing
Synopsis:
The City of Ludlow is getting ready to convert an old Boys and Girls Club facility into much-needed affordable housing units. Thanks to $5 million dollars from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, this city in Western Massachusetts will be able to create 30 affordable housing units. The units will be allocated to the elderly and disabled within the community. The conversion project is expected to take two years and will help to provide accessible housing opportunities in a vacant, abandoned space.
Building May Get New Use
Synopsis:
The Salvation Army and Atkins Community Development Corporation have filed to have the former Boys and Girls Club rezoned from residential to general business. Atkins CDC plans on purchasing the old structure from the Salvation Army. It may then be used as a business incubator to help support a three-mile revitalization plan along the street which the CDC has put together. There have been no objections and the planning board is projected to allow office and institutional uses of the building.
