Hingham Affordable Housing Trust pursues developer partnership for Lincoln School Apartments. Trust Chair Jack Falvey presented a proposal for the Select Board to seek a Town Meeting warrant article authorizing lease or sale of the property to a for-profit or nonprofit developer to fund capital improvements while preserving affordability, reflecting the Town's higher renovation costs and limited residential management expertise. The Trust also advanced two capital projects: a $100,000 grant for ADA upgrades to common areas and a $500,000 Community Preservation Committee request for brick repointing, with the total repointing project estimated at two million dollars.
