Searching for housing solutions: Advocates build on existing models, suggest new ones

(Third story in a series)

Two years ago, the National Affordable Housing Network, working with the Jefferson Local Development Corporation, purchased 13 acres of land in Whitehall for a 48-unit development called Mountain Horizons.

The JLDC helped the Affordable Housing Network get the property subdivided through the county Planning Board and approved by the Commission, said Tom Harrington, project coordinator with the JLDC. It was then was annexed into the town. Services have since been installed and the development is ready for construction, he said.
