After a few months of back-and-forth discussions between residents, the Glastonbury Town Council and Board of Finance, the town has approved allocating $3.4 million to buy a property on Nye Road to be used for affordable housing.
The Glastonbury Town Council earlier this month voted 6-3, along party lines with Democrats in favor and Republicans against, to use $3.4 million in federal money to buy 50-55 Nye Road, which currently houses two office buildings. The 10.86-acre property is at the end of a cul-de-sac, and the town owns some land adjacent to the property.
The town has eyed the property as a potential space to create new units of affordable housing, which town officials have said is needed in Glastonbury.
