NEW LONDON The first new unit for lease to the Huron Metropolitan Housing Authority should be ready by November 29.

Five more two bedroom units will be completed by December 15, and four three bedroom units out of seven under construction will be roofed by week’s end. Negotiations are under way to purchase an existing three bedroom unit in Willard to be ready within 30 days. Four buildings with three one bedroom units each are under construction in New London by Reach Investors Diversified of Norwalk and Huron. The authority voted to lease 25 units in New London from Ralph Fowler.
