The zoning approvals are now in hand enabling construction at the 7 1/2 Ridge St project in Nashua.   The special exception and variance were both unanimously approved by the Nashua Zoning Board of Adjustment at Tuesday’s meeting.   Special thanks goes to:

• Attorney Terry Gormley of Gormley & Gormley P.C. who presented our request to the zoning board
• Architect Dave Ely of Windy Hill Associates, who came up with multiple house designs to fit the constraints of the lot
• Habitat Building Committee Chair Eric Moore

Now that this hurdle has been passed, the next phase is to engage an engineering firm to generate detailed engineering plans to enable application for a building permit.   The application process for the partner family is still open.   If you know a working family making $15,000-$43,000 per year who may be in need of an affordable home, please encourage them to apply.   Read more information about how families are selected.

Happy Thanksgiving!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Nashua Stroll: a Chance to Help Those in Need of Housing

An Annual Tradition Returns to the Stroll for a Good Cause

Nashua – The Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity will return this year to the Nashua Stroll with its famous annual Bake Sale. The event will take place on Saturday, November 29th from 5PM- 9 PM.  It will be held at the United Methodist Church on 154 Main Street, Nashua, New Hampshire.

Once again, the organization seeks volunteers for baked good donations and to help run the event.  The proceeds are all directed toward the Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity and our organization’s efforts to build and renovate houses, “so that there are decent houses in decent communities in which people can live and grow”.

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry that seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.  Habitat invites people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need.

If you are interested in baking something for the sale, or volunteering to help at the bake sale, please contact Ellen Svenson at 603-883-0295 or at office@nashabitat.org.

If you would like more information about this topic, or to schedule an interview with Ellen Svenson, please call Ed Lopez at 603-883-0295 or email Ed at ed.lopez@nashabitat.org.
