Background
In the summer of 2024, the Board of Selectmen authorized the issuance of a request for proposals for affordable senior housing, assisted living or a congregate living facility at Kearns School, 5 Canton Road. The RFP was issued in July 2024 and proposals were due at the end of September. Four responses were received. Following informal interviews with the four respondents, three were asked to present to the Board of Selectmen and the Commission on Aging. Two of the respondents, 7 Summits Realty LLC and New Samaritan, have decided to partner on the project and therefore will be presenting jointly to the Board. It should be noted that the fourth respondent was not invited back for further discussion as the proposal was for a market-rate apartment development, which did not meet the uses outlined in the RFP.
The proposals received in response to the RFP can be seen below:
