The next property the Block Island Housing Board is seeking to develop affordable housing on is donated land that sits on the edge of the cemetery across the street from Ball O’Brien Park. The lot (Plat 18 Lot 2-3) is currently in the Residential A Zone, but the Housing Board would like that designation changed.
On April 14 the Planning Board heard their appeal to change the lot from Residential A to New Harbor Commercial. This would allow for a larger building imprint on the lot and greater flexibility in terms of design and number of people served.
