WESTFORD LWV CIVIC SOCIAL TO SHOWCASE DREW FARMHOUSE UPDATE

The League of Women Voters of Westford is hosting Ellen Harde on Wednesday, September 18, as she gives residents an update on the Drew Farmhouse project. The Civic Social will be held at WestfordCAT Studios, 487 Groton Road, Unit B, at 7:30 p.m. The League’s Civic Socials are open to all.

At the Special Town Meeting in October 2023, Westford residents approved funding to support the rehabilitation of the former Coldwell Banker property located at 70 Boston Road. Nearly $1.5 million – from the Community Preservation Fund – was requested and approved for the project, which will convert the buildings into income-restricted units. The project is a joint venture between Habitat for Humanity of Greater Lowell and Drew Farmhouse, Inc., a nonprofit led by Ellen Harde. 

The goal – for both Habitat for Humanity and Drew Farmhouse, Inc. – is to provide additional opportunities for low- and middle-income residents to live in Westford while retaining the historic charm of the buildings.
