In December, 2023, the Partnership received approval from MassHousing to construct a 72 unit apartment building in accordance with Chapter 40B to include 17 affordable units on the Mill Street Development site. In order to initiate construction, the Partnership demolished the existing building structures and started construction in January 2024. In order to comply with the permanent financing requirements for a 40B project, Mill Street Development signed a term sheet for a loan of up to $15 million, to be funded upon completion of the development project. In addition, Mill Street Development deposited $75,000 into escrow to comply with the 40B project requirement of a cost certification of total development costs upon completion of the project. Total construction costs for the project are expected to be approximately $30,000,000, with construction completion anticipated during the fourth quarter of 2025.
