Developers update work group on phased Marysville housing plan; LITEC, feasibility study and 2026 application timing discussed
Summary
Nonprofit developers reported a feasibility study and land contract for a phased Marysville project that could include a 40-unit senior building and later townhomes (potentially up to ~120 units across phases); they plan to pursue LITEC in the 2026 round and seek layered funding, while noting zoning, grading and septic/water constraints.
Developers updating the Tri County housing work group said the Marysville site has a feasibility study under way, land under contract, and potential for a phased affordable-housing development that would begin with senior apartments and add additional affordable housing in later phases.
Tara, the project lead, said she has paid for a feasibility study, still holds the land under contract, and that the site’s grading makes development “tough” but feasible in several pockets. She described a phased plan: a 40-unit senior housing building as phase 1 and additional phases for affordable housing (townhomes and small-footprint single-family units). In several exchanges Tara and Amber discussed an overall program that could reach roughly 120 units across phases, with phase 1 targeted to low- and moderate-income seniors.
On financing, the team said they intend to prepare for a LITEC application in the 2026 round and to line up additional committed funds beforehand so they can enter the LITEC process with matching or layered financing. Participants discussed timing constraints (LITEC’s January–February cycle) and that completing certain design and predevelopment work before the application is helpful.
Speakers also raised programmatic and regulatory options: potential use of DEP infrastructure funds (Infrastructure Investment/IFA-related programs), ECHO program eligibility for tiny clusters, and donation/land-holding strategies where sellers hold parcels while developers secure grant funding. Participants warned zoning, septic, and well requirements could constrain tiny-home clusters and said variances or programmatic waivers (ECHO) may be necessary.
Next steps: developers will meet with Marysville zoning staff and the borough manager; they will refine feasibility and funding plans and submit materials through the county portal in time for staff support ahead of the 2026 amendment cycle.
No formal votes were taken at the meeting.
