Housing Authority eyes North Mianus Center project
Greenwich Housing Authority proposes three affordable housing units at the vacant North Mianus Community Center. First Selectman John Margenie said he waits for Ruth Sims of Greenwich Neighborhoods Inc to confirm dissolution before the town moves to accept the offer. He praises the Authority as a rare developer and notes past local efforts to keep affordable housing visible amid zoning friction and neighborhood opposition. The plan, seen as more feasible with smaller scope, hinges on town support and limited local resistance, according to Executive Director Tom Crawford.
