South Hadley Affordable Housing Trust explores small multifamily development but identifies zoning and sprinkler code as obstacles. The seven-member trust received a $2,500 Massachusetts Housing Partnership Mini-Boost Grant to clarify strategic direction and confirmed that Wayfinders, developer of the Clover affordable housing project, remains on track after a pandemic-era $5 million cost escalation. Members declined to add annual Master Plan reporting duties to their workload but agreed to align their strategic plan with municipal goals.
The trust holds $273,000 and received a pledge from an anonymous donor.
