Request for Proposals – Senior Affordable Housing, Plus!
Seeking proposals from interested buyers/developers for the historic 12,672 square foot Middle Haddam School Building at 12 Schoolhouse Lane in Middle Haddam, listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places. This iconic classical revival building sits on 2.2 level acres and is located within a Local Historic District.
It is well suited for senior affordable housing (8-10 units) but would require a zone change where the Affordable Housing Appeals Act (8-30G) may be used. Other uses permitted within its residential zone include a single family dwelling, bed and breakfast, agricultural use including sales of related products, a home-based business, and (with special permit) a public or parochial school, hospital, library, museum, church, auditorium, municipal or public utility building.
The building has a new roof, restored doorways, cornice and cupola. It is structurally sound. A full condition assessment and feasibility study can be produced upon request.
We will consider the best offer from the most qualified buyer committed to rehabilitating this special Structure and putting it back into use. The project will be Eligible for Federal and State Tax Credits, as well as grants. As a single home, the project may be eligible for the Historic Homes Rehabilitation Tax Credit Program.
Interested parties can contact Margaret McCutcheon Faber for further information, or to arrange a showing, via e-mail: msmfaber@gmail.com. Deadline for proposal submissions is midnight, September 30, 2023. See full RFP guidelines and current floor plans/elevations.
