From Mlongreene2 at aol.com Mon Jul 12 07:05:12 2010 From: Mlongreene2 at aol.com (Mlongreene2 at aol.com) Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2010 07:05:12 EDT Subject: [Year-Round Housing] MaineHousing Grant - Meeting July 20 - RESPONSE NEEDED Message-ID: <6c4ac.33418bb0.396c50e8@aol.com> Year Round Housing Corporation Town of Long Island Wharf Street - Box 263 Long Island, Maine 04050 Mark Greene, Trustee, President Mary McAleney, Trustee Tammy Hohn, Trustee, Vice-President Leah Doughty, Secretary Amy Tierney, Trustee Stephen Train, Treasurer Newell Stewart, Selectman Trustee Ruth Peterson, Registered Agent July 12, 2010 MaineHousing Grant Update – Next Phase Meeting on Tuesday, July 20th with Genesis Community Loan Fund’s Liza Fleming-Ives and Island Fellow Mary Terry. On Tuesday, June 22, Island Institute Fellow Mary Terry gave the YRHCorp members present an overview of the MaineHousing grant available at this time to build two rental houses (with option to own) on two of our Town owned lots. While the available $175,000 per house (total $350,000 for both per Island) will cover most of the up front cost of such a project, there will probably be the need to seek some additional funding in the form of a loan to cover part of the project and associated costs. The strong interest already shown by several Island residents to further explore this opportunity has encouraged us to set up a meeting for a “walk thru” of MSHA program details with Genesis’ Liza Fleming Ives to understand more fully the costs, obligations, limitations, etc. that are involved with this program. The meeting is tentatively scheduled at 5:00 PM at the Casco Bay Lines Conference Room on Tuesday, July 20. This time and place has been selected to facilitate Liza’s travels to Portland and back home at a reasonable hour and to make it convenient for commuters from Town to attend as well as Islanders with travel on the 4:20 boat following work and be able to return on the 7:15. While there is never a perfect time for a meeting this was selected to try to accommodate as many variables as possible. It is important for YRHCorp Trustees and potential housing candidates to attend to fully understand whether we move forward with this. Please confirm with me by e-mail or phone (766 4440) as a YRHCorp member or potential candidate for this program by Wed., July 14 that you can or cannot attend this meeting. Should we decide to continue on, this is a big step for the YRHCorp. There is much risk, in my opinion, to move forward unless we have a strong commitment from potential renters and/or owners of these homes that this is something they definitely want. I will re-confirm the time, date, and location of the meeting in a day or so All details of this meeting are confirmed except the meeting room and adequate positive response from members. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
