One of SCC’s ‘100 Homes’ Properties
Somerville, MA – MassDevelopment has issued an $11,444,274 tax-exempt bond on behalf of the Somerville Community Corporation, Inc. (SCC) to refinance previously issued debt used to buy and preserve the affordability of 69 housing units in multifamily facilities at various locations in Somerville, as well as complete renovations to several of the facilities.
