NORWICH – The Norwich Housing Authority wants to know what sorts of modular homes individuals ages 55 and older would be interested in purchasing as officials look to continue work on a development project that has sat dormant for several years.

According to Norwich Housing Authority Director Tamara Cobb, the Norwich Housing Authority received a plot of land from the City of Norwich in 2010. Cobb said a retired city employee Judy Wingate-Wade worked for years to ensure the project was possible, and now they’re doing what they can to see it move forward.

She said originally the land was going to be sold to individuals with grants to help them build homes on it, but after there was an issue with the grants some of the purchases fell through.

She added that for years the properties have remained for sale, and the housing authority is considering having modular homes placed on the properties to make it move in ready for potential home buyers.

“There’s a lot of older people who live in the city or outside of the city that want to downsize their homes,” said Cobb. “This is an opportunity for anyone who is considering purchasing a home who is 55 or older to give feedback on what kind of home they’d be interested in moving into.”
