Thirty-nine new affordable housing rental units are in the works after a groundbreaking for a three-building facility in Mashpee.
The LeClair Village Apartments are named after a longtime housing champion in the area Mary LeClair.
“I’m speechless to think that kids will go to school and say they’re from LeClair Village,” said LeClair, who lives in Mashpee and continues to advocate for housing and other causes at the age of 89.
When completed by the summer of 2024, LeClair Village will feature 14 one-bedroom apartments, 21 two-bedroom units, and 4 three-bedroom apartments.
The apartments, which are on town-owned land, will serve low- and moderate-income households.
