30-unit, mixed-income housing development in the center of Windsor took another step toward breaking ground by earning selectboard approval last week for a needed grant application.
“We’re in a particularly good spot in Windsor to make this happen with all of our available resources, and it’s really important that we build homes for people,” Christopher Goulet, a Windsor Selectboard member, said at the Sept. 8 public hearing.
He cited the ideal downtown location of the project, called Central & Main. “It’s going to be a bit of a change,” he said, “but I think as a community, we’re going to land in a place that’s a lot more accessible, and the community will grow.”
The selectboard voted unanimously to support an application for a $550,000 federal Community Development Block Grant, which would help fund the development.
