2. Notice of Scoping for Spruce Ridge

Municipality where proposed project might be located:  Pawcatuck, CT within the Town of Stonington.

Addresses of Possible Project Location:  86-88 South Broad Street, Pawcatuck, CT 06379

Project Description:   The Department of Housing (DOH) is considering using HOME funds to assist in the development of the 43-unit Spruce Ridge project in Pawcatuck, located within the Town of Stonington.  The project is being completed by a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) eligible developer that would provide DOH with an avenue for meeting both our CHDO and general HOME commitment and expenditure requirements.  Spruce Ridge is the second phase of this development at this location (86-88 South Broad Street).  Each phase is located on a separate legal parcel.  The first phase (known as Spruce Meadows, also comprising 43 units ) located at 100-102 South Broad Street was completed with 4% LIHTC and DOH state bond funding.  Until this point in time, DOH did not contemplate using HOME funds for this project, but the lack of other CHDO eligible developments has made us reconsider the use of HOME funds.  The first and second phases of this project are not related legally but they are being completed by the same parent organization and are located on adjacent parcels.
