A new 14-unit development will be located at the site of the former Mason’s Lodge on Main Street, which was acquired by the Orleans Affordable Housing Trust Fund in 2021. An agreement with the Housing Assistance Corporation (HAC) was approved to develop the project, following a Request for Proposals process. HAC has secured approval of the Orleans Zoning Board of Appeals and is the process of securing permits, as well as State grants and financing approvals. If these approvals can be secured in a timely manner, current estimates (as of September 2022) are to start construction in 2023-2024.
