IWH is excited to be embarking on a second project. We are in the planning stages of a development on the Cemetery Road in Stonington. The site is a wooded lot, and will be the location of our next phase of year-round rentals. This small neighborhood will house 12 one- and two-bedroom apartments.

The purchase of the property was made possible by Island Workforce Housing's new Acquisition Fund, initiated by a generous gift from Michele Janin and Tom Linebarger.

These energy-efficient apartments will serve as a stepping stone for island workers, providing them with an affordable and steady year-round rental.

We are compiling a great team for the project: architect John Gordon, landscape architect Sam Coplon, and surveyor Due North, with more partners to come.

The site is within walking distance of Stonington village, the community center, the old school, the ballfield, and the harbor. With this key purchase and significant due diligence work already completed, IWH is planning and fundraising, in hopes of beginning construction in 2025.
