Greenwich Communities Withdraws Ferris Landing Affordable Housing Proposal on Strickland

Press release from Greenwich Communities (formerly known as Greenwich’s Housing Authority)

Greenwich Communities has now completed its full assessment of the Strickland Road commuter parking lot for an affordable public housing development. We have
determined that the project is not viable for us at this time. While we do believe that this project would have been highly beneficial to our town overall, we just have to manage our capabilities and resources in a realistic manner to allow us to continue to fulfill our role as the town’s designated provider of affordable housing in a responsible way.

We thank the Board of Selectmen for their support overall and look forward to continuing to work with them and our Planning and Zoning Commission members and their staff in identifying and pursuing suitable locations for us to continue to add affordable family housing units to meet the needs of our citizens.
