A proposed affordable housing development for seniors in Kennebunk cleared an important hurdle on March 5.
A ballot question asking voters to approve a contract zone for the project, Referendum Question A, appeared alongside the presidential primary ballot, the results of which aligned with the vast majority of contests held on Super Tuesday.
The affordable housing development ballot question, which earned 2,226 votes in favor and 412 votes against, is a joint project by Kennebunk Savings Bank and Avesta Housing, the largest nonprofit housing provider in northern New England. A contract zone agreement allows an exemption to existing zoning code.
