Kearns School housing project: Good Samaritan withdraws; Seven Summits to seek partner
Summary
Town minutes show the proposed 120‑unit development on the Kearns School property (80 senior units; 40 workforce units) lost partner Good Samaritan. The town agreed to let Seven Summits seek a new partner and directed attorneys to draft an MOU to support state funding inquiries.
The meeting record shows the Town of Granby has been negotiating with developers for a proposed 120‑unit development at the Kearns School site, divided into 80 senior‑restricted units and 40 workforce units.
According to the minutes, the senior component was planned as 80 units with about 25% at market rate and roughly 75% income‑adjusted rents; the 40 workforce units were described with a similar split. The minutes state these units would not meet state standards for 'affordable housing.'
The minutes further record that Good Samaritan has withdrawn from the project and that the town’s negotiating team agreed to allow Seven Summits to seek a new development partner. The project's term sheet has been turned over to the town attorney to develop a memorandum of understanding to be presented to the Board of Selectmen within approximately 30 days to demonstrate some legal control over the property and to support inquiries into state funding. The developers are expected to research funding options and then return to the negotiating committee to discuss next steps.
No formal vote or approval regarding the project was recorded at the meeting.
