The Foundation for Norfolk Living (FNL) will host a ribbon-cutting celebration and house tour for Haystack Woods, its newly constructed affordable housing complex, on Monday, June 22, at 11:00 a.m.
Because parking is limited at the site off Old Colony Road, the town will provide transportation for those interested in attending. Two trips will be provided in a 12-seat van, starting at 10:45 a.m., according to Administrative Assistant Barbara Gomez. Carpooling is encouraged for those not taking the offer of transportation.
Three of the 10 newly completed Net Zero affordable homes will be open for tours from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Light refreshments will be served.
Construction of the units is now complete. Seven of the homes have been sold or are under contract, and three, three-bedroom homes remain available for first-time homebuyers earning under 80 percent of the area median income.
These state-of-the-art net-zero homes feature concrete walls, high-performing insulation, shared solar carports and photovoltaic panels—estimated to save homeowners roughly $5,000 in energy costs annually.
Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until homes are all sold. Applications forms can be found and submitted at norfolkliving.org.
