Habitat for Humanity duplex at Water and Grove Streets

Keene

Summary

A long-vacant city-owned parking lot across from the Cityside Apartments and Hundred Nights Shelter will become a two-family, high-performance home. The variance clears the last zoning hurdle before the Planning Board's May 26 Cottage Court permit hearing.

Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

The lot was sold through a city RFP for housing; reducing impervious surface from 95% to 60% should ease stormwater loads on city infrastructure.

✅Who benefits

Two future Habitat families gain an affordable, energy-efficient home, and the neighborhood gains green space instead of a vacant lot.
