On April 6, Town Council awarded the design-build contract to MMI Consulting LLC for a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) of $2,420,000. As part of the Town’s Housing Now! initiative, the Town purchased the property to develop additional affordable housing units. The 9,148 SF parcel is zoned RMF-1 and with density bonuses can accommodate four units. Total project cost is $2,662,980 (land, concept development, and construction).
