Franklin, MA – The Town of Franklin has received a significant boost toward its efforts to support affordable housing for seniors. Officials announced that Franklin has been awarded an $850,000 federal Community Project Funding grant, which will contribute to the construction of a new road leading to the Franklin Ridge Senior Affordable Housing Project.
According to The Franklin Observer, this grant will be combined with previously secured state funding to help build the Veterans Memorial Drive Extension, which will provide necessary access to the upcoming housing development. Town records indicate that while public funds are being used for infrastructure improvements, the housing project itself is being privately funded.
The Franklin Ridge Senior Affordable Housing Project aims to provide much-needed residential options for seniors in the community, ensuring access to safe and affordable living spaces. Officials believe the improved infrastructure will help facilitate the development and eventual completion of the project.
Town leaders have expressed appreciation for the federal support, noting that this funding will play a crucial role in moving the project forward. As plans progress, updates will be provided regarding construction timelines and project milestones.
