Three Edgartown residents receive town lots

0

The Edgartown board of selectmen met on Monday at town hall to pull names for the lots on Sixth Street North. The three buildable half-acre lots were described as “community housing opportunities,” and the lots were subdivided from a town-owned 1.6-acre parcel. Qualified applicants proved they had lived or worked in Edgartown for the past five years. They had to be first-time homeowners, reside in affordable housing, or be a “displaced homemaker,” meaning an individual who depends on another household member’s income. The 25 qualified candidate names were written on Ping-Pong balls and placed in a rotating wooden box. Wanda Williams, town administrator, pulled the names of Ryan Leandro, Casey Ryan O’Connor, and Christopher Costello.
