Healey-Driscoll Administration Announcement Includes NewVue Communities’ Affordable Housing Project in Athol.

Fitchburg– Chosen as one of 26 projects to receive funding to develop affordable housing while preserving two historical buildings, the Residences at the Park is a development project in Athol that will bring new life and purpose to the Riverbend and Bigelow Schools.

Today, NewVue Communities Executive Director, Marc Dohan and Athol Town Manager, Shaun Suhoski, were in Boston to celebrate the awards with other recipients committed to addressing the housing crisis across the state.

Athol Town Manager, Shaun Suhoski said “We are fortunate to have a strong partner in New Vue Communities, with the amazing support of the Healey-Driscoll Administration, to bring life to a pair of shuttered former school buildings.  A program that provides needed affordable housing, restores two historic buildings, adds modern apartments for senior citizens, and rejuvenates a neighborhood will surely have generational benefits for the town of Athol and the North Quabbin region.”
