POAH Closes On Financing For Spring Rock Village
By Mackenzie Blue
BREWSTER – The 45-unit affordable housing project off Millstone Road is a step closer to the construction phase after almost a decade on the drawing board.
On Wednesday, Feb. 18, the Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH) announced it had closed on the financing to start building the complex, which will feature seven separate buildings.
Located at 55 Spring Rock Village, the multi-unit development will be developed in partnership with Housing Assistance, the largest developer of affordable housing on the Cape. The project is designed to keep the classic Cape Cod look and feel, while incorporating a number of energy efficient improvements with “little to no onsite fossil fuel” impact, according to the press release.
... The central management building will have amenities such as bike storage, central laundry and a community room. The landscape design will include a community green space. The affordable housing development will have its own wastewater treatment facility.
“As a local developer, our goal is to create pathways to stable, attainable year-round housing for our neighbors, who are so deeply impacted by this unrelenting housing crisis,” said Housing Assistance CEO Alisa Magnotta. “Projects like Spring Rock Village offer the perfect opportunity to bring meaningful housing options to locals while still protecting our fragile environment. These homes will allow members of our community to grow roots and call Brewster home for many years to come.”
