Affordable Housing Reg Removed from Wallingford's Simpson Village Condos
About a half dozen of the Center Street complex's units have not been able to sell at $250,000 each.
WALLINGFORD, CT - The age 55-and-older Simpson Village condominium complex had its affordable housing requirement removed Tuesday following a vote by the Wallingford Town Council.
The Record-Journal reports that the recommendation passed despite some residents and a couple of council members objecting to the provision's removal.
About a half dozen of the Center Street complex's units have not been able to sell at $250,000 each, in part because they require that the buyers earn less than $68,000 annually. Developers bought the former Simpson School complex in 2005 to build the condos, 30 percent of which were supposed to be kept as affordable.
