Duxbury Habitat for Humanity Project Recognized

Duxbury, MA – South Shore Habitat for Humanity’s homes at Feinberg Bog Road in Duxbury have been recognized as a contributing project to the region’s economic competitiveness.

The homes have been endorsed by the South Shore Economic Development Corporation’s Housing Committee, an arm of the South Shore Chamber of Commerce.  The committee recognizes projects and local initiatives that help make the region more competitive in attracting people and businesses, as part of its larger “South Shore 2030: Choosing our Future” regional economic and community development plan.

The project in Duxbury will consist of six townhomes on three acres on the Old Camp Wing property. The project meets the chamber’s criteria for endorsement as it introduces a smaller square footage product at a lower price point, uses an underutilized parcel of land to the Duxbury community. The developer worked closely with the Town of Duxbury, the Affordable Housing Trust, community members and neighbors to address concerns and to introduce a thoughtful, high quality site design. These townhomes are currently under construction.

South Shore Habitat for Humanity has completed 58 homes in 21 towns, helping more than 102 adults and 200 children build a place to call home. This chapter of Habitat for Humanity serves 35 cities and towns south and southwest of Boston.

The Housing Initiative is a major component of “South Shore 2030: Choosing Our Future”, a multi-year comprehensive economic and community development effort led by the South Shore Chamber and the South Shore Economic Development Corp. The plan focuses on addressing infrastructure, workforce, housing, leadership and strengthening communities.  The Housing initiative calls for more production of housing that will appeal to younger people and help retain older residents looking to downsize.
