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 – July 23, 2024:
We have exciting news from Long Meadow Commons. Our well drilling team found water! We have a pair of wells that seem to have enough capacity for our project. Persistence paid off!
Next, we will conduct a 72-hour test to ensure the water volume and quality meet regulatory standards. This test is scheduled for later this month.
We met with the New London Select Board on July 10th to ask that the $600,000 from InvestNH to the Town be loaned or contributed to the project. We received a positive response and will be back in front of the Select Board on July 24th to finalize that request.
Additionally, we have issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Construction Management Services. Four firms responded by last week’s deadline, and we are reviewing their proposals.
Finally, we continue to work with New Hampshire Housing staff on the construction financing.
We will keep you updated as the project progresses.
