Long Meadow Commons will include 60 units of workforce housing on a seven-acre site behind the Hannaford shopping center in New London. The project comes as the result of a local citizens group reaching out to Twin Pines to seek solutions to New London’s workforce housing needs. The 60 units will be divided into four buildings of 15 units (each has 10 1BR units and 5 2BR units).
Long Meadow Commons is geared towards workforce residents whose income is between 60% and 80% of area median income. The site is in walking distance to groceries, health care, major employers, library, and other retail.

PROJECT UPDATE – August 14, 2024:
On August 12, Twin Pines staff and engineers met with the New London Springfield Water Precinct Board regarding our application for a domestic water connection. The request was based, in part, on recent testing in the area of the project that revealed the presence of PCE, a volatile organic compound. The discovery makes it unlikely that we will be able to use the recently installed wells on the project site. Unfortunately, the Board did not approve our request, and we are deeply disappointed. Twin Pines is currently evaluating potential next steps in light of this setback.
