KNSA's Wintechog Initiative & New Board Member

KNSA’s initiative to create affordable housing on Wintechog Hill has not been successful. Our hope was that the residents of our town would be able to decide in a referendum whether the development of 24 affordable apartments was appropriate on that site. In a 2-1 vote, the board of selectmen decided not to send the 8-24 application for lease of the town owned 10 acres for affordable housing to a town meeting, then referendum. We will continue to strive to fulfill our mission to build housing that is affordable and appropriate for the people of North Stonington and those wishing to live here. We believe affordable housing is not just about shelter; it is the foundation for stable communities and thriving neighborhoods.

We welcome Jennifer Sawyer to our board of directors. She recently retired from work at Yale New Haven Hospital and Newtown Middle School, helping people develop personal and community roles. Her experience will be appreciated on our board.
