Templeton Soon Will Break Ground on Its First Affordable Housing Complex

TEMPLETON ― Developers and town officials are on the last step before being able to break ground on the Baldwinville School Apartments project.

In January, developers submitted a funding assistance application to Department of Housing and Community Development for $29 million to cover the entire cost of the construction project. They should hear back from DHCD with a decision in the early summer.

Jason Korb from Capstone Communities and Mathieu Zahler from MPZ Development are the head developers of the Baldwinville School Apartment project. Both developers have been working with town officials since late 2019 to bring this housing development into the community.
