Other Milestones:

  • September 27, 2005 - Michael and Mark Vaccaro of Blue Ribbon Ventures met with the Affordable Housing Study Committee to discuss how the 40B project they are proposing to build would fit into the Town's Planned Production Plan. They indicated a strong interest in pursuing the project as a Local Initiative Project. The Committee indicated that the plan did not require additional units to be certified until two years after the Salmon Brook Commons units are certified.
  • October 17, 2005 - Blue Ribbon Ventures presented a proposal for a LIP to the Board of Selectmen. The project would consist of 24 1600 square foot condos (site layout, first floor, second floor, rear elevation), which would be constructed behind the existing house and barn. Thirty percent (8 of 24) of the units would be sold as affordable units. The Vaccaros offered the existing house to the town as a community center and said they would also provide a safe foot path from the elementary school to the library. A number of residents asked questions, which the Vaccaros responded to.
  • January 19, 2006 - The Board of Selectmen received a formal LIP Application (download in PDF format - 812KB) from Mark Vaccaro requesting support for Dunstable Village Estates as a Local Initiative Project under Chapter 40B.
