Harvard's Municipal Affordable Housing Trust voted unanimously to authorize an engineering assessment of the Gravel Pit parcel and approved the reappointment of members Adam Meier and Paige Johnston. Chair Arielle Jennings' five-member board advanced a Request for Proposals for a comprehensive housing consultant estimated at approximately 30 thousand dollars for strategic planning, based on guidance from newly hired Community and Economic Director Jenny Gingras. The Trust will finalize the RFP scope and budget by its next meeting, with consultant selection potentially beginning by October 1, 2026.
The engineering assessment will focus particularly on septic feasibility as the Trust seeks to explore the Gravel Pit site for affordable housing following the town's rejection of a solar project for the parcel.
