Select Board approves short‑term license for Walnut Null leasing operations at senior center
Summary
The Select Board authorized staff to finalize a short‑term license allowing the Walnut Null affordable senior housing project to use lobby and office space in the town's senior center from May through October, with the developer offering $1,500 per month and to secure required insurance.
The town manager told the Select Board the Walnut Null affordable senior housing project sought temporary space at the town's senior center to run leasing operations and meet prospective tenants. The developer proposed paying $1,500 per month for May through October and covering insurance costs for the period; town counsel confirmed a short‑term license was permissible because the town would retain access and control of the space.
The manager said the developer agreed to procure insurance meeting minimums stated in the draft license (at least $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate) and to pay a one‑time insurance cost estimated at roughly $10,000; with the developer covering insurance and rent, the manager recommended the town proceed. The board authorized staff to finish negotiations and return with the executed license.
The board recorded a motion to approve the license agreement between the Town of Foxborough and PBD Properties, Inc. for use of the senior center building for leasing activities related to the Walnut Null housing project; members voted in favor.
