Cape Charles Town Manager Heather Arcos has amended the contract with the purchasers of the Old School in Central Park to allow the possibility of low-income housing.
The original contract, signed June 28, 2012, by Mayor Dora Sullivan, stated: “To the extent permitted by law, Purchaser shall not operate the Project as a low-income housing facility under any state or federal program.”
The Town sold the Old School and adjoining parkland for $10 on December 20, 2012.
Three weeks ago, on February 7, Arcos signed an amendment to the contract removing the low-income prohibition.
The removal comes after three prominent civic leaders protested to elected state officials over alleged discriminatory housing practices by the Town. [Read more…]
