Littleton Industrial Development Corp. and Affordable Housin partnering for a potential workforce housing development

LITTLETON — As community leaders seek ways to ease the area’s shortage of housing units, the Littleton Industrial Development Corp. and Affordable Housing, Education and Development Inc. are partnering for a potential workforce housing development in the Littleton Industrial Park. During their meeting on Monday, the Select Board voted 3-0 for the town to become the responsible entity for the environmental studies needed for a proposed road extension on land behind the Littleton Transfer Station. AHEAD is the recipient of a Congressionally Directed Spending award. LIDC has 115 acres in the industrial park that can be developed as well as another 42 developable acres, which several years ago was sold by the town to LIDC for $1.
