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 – June 21, 2024:
Last week, we completed additional survey work. Using VLF (very low frequency) equipment, engineers identified four potential well locations. Out of these, we have chosen to investigate two sites situated just north of the existing access road, both located within the meadow and accessible via the access road.
We have opted not to explore the other two identified locations at this time, due to their proximity at the periphery of the Cricenti parcel. These sites would necessitate easements from neighboring property owners due to the 200-foot diameter protection area required for the wells.
Earlier today, a surveyor was on-site to verify these positions for inclusion in our site plan. Yesterday, the well driller confirmed the locations and ensured his drilling rig can access the proposed sites. He plans to return next week to commence drilling operations.
We continue to work on financing with New Hampshire Housing and we expect to publish a Request for Proposal for Construction Management Services next week.
Keep your fingers crossed for water in the meantime!
