Overview: During the recent Littleton Community Preservation Committee meeting, members discussed the potential rescinding of a vote by the Affordable Housing Trust to purchase the Derky Farm using Community Preservation Committee (CPC) funds. This decision stems from the requirement that all housing developed on the site must be affordable, a condition deemed unlikely to be met. The Trust is considering a financial maneuver to use a mix of affordable and market-rate units, involving a formal sale and repurchase of the property with non-CPC funds.
