Wayland Housing Partnership pulls 212 shared-living warrant article

WAYLAND — February 14, 2024 — Wayland Housing Partnership pulls its 212 warrant article and pivots to new shared-living sites. Chair Mary M. Antes and member Catherine told the Feb. 14 meeting that town counsel K.P. Law had urged caution because of the May 2023 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Tyler v. Hennepin County, which complicates how tax-taking proceeds and heirs' claims are reconciled. A parallel citizens' article from resident Brian Boggia has also been withdrawn. The committee is now eyeing Town Center parcels and a Community Methodist Church site. Separately, Jacqueline Espirtusanto-Vega reported Habitat for Humanity bid roughly $400,000 to build a three-bedroom affordable unit at 12 Hammond Road — down from a rejected $1 million response — to be sold for about $240,000. Rachel Bratt said the Windy Hill developer is filing its state low-income housing tax credit application this week. Three Launcher Way units hit the market near $849,000.
