Pandemic Moves to the Countryside Strained Housing in Rural Northeast Towns

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, many city residents headed for small towns and the countryside. Little is known about what this shift meant for the American communities that took in the newcomers. Fresh arrivals can bring new energy, but a rapid influx can also strain housing and services in places with limited resources. The question matters beyond the pandemic: as climate change worsens, more people are expected to relocate to escape floods, heat and other hazards, and the northeastern United States is seen as a likely destination.

Core Investments and A Yankee Line Inc. have filed a preliminary notification form laying out the vision, which would also connect the hotel and events building with a pedestrian bridge.

The sprawling property at 229-241 Coffin Ave. won Zoning Board of Appeals approval to make the change from storage space to apartments on Oct. 15. The bakery closed in 2005. The property’s first floor will continue to be used for commercial/retail. The proposal required a ZBA special permit determination that the benefit to the city and the neighborhood outweighs any adverse effects of the proposed use. The main benefit to the city is the housing provided , according to the owner/applicant. The initial plan included providing 16 parking spaces within a proposed interior garage area on the first floor. Developers added another 12 spots to the plan to bring the total to 28. Question 7: New Bedford, Fairhaven officials say ballot measure helps housing crisis What's next for the proposal The required number of parking spaces is 37, so the applicant/owner will be seeking a special permit from the Planning Board to allow the lesser number.
