SEN. LESSER WELCOMES EXTENSION OF LAND CONVEYANCE TO SHILOH BAPTIST COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
MIDDLETOWN – State Senator Matt Lesser (D-Middletown) announced that the state Senate has approved a state land conveyance bill that allows the Shiloh Baptist Community Development Corporation of Middletown until June 30, 2029, to start work on their plan to build moderate-income housing and recreational facilities in town.
The bill was necessary because Shioloh Baptist was originally given until June 30, 2029, to complete their planned projects.
“There’s been an ongoing effort by Shiloh Baptist for many years to complete these projects. Of course, the local land use boards will be the final arbiter, but it’s a laudable goal to build more community housing in Middletown, and this bill helps them do that,” Sen. Lesser said. “Congratulations to Bishop Cotten and the entire team at Shiloh. I wish them the best!”
Senate Bill 518 passed on a bipartisan 34-2 vote and now heads to the House of Representatives for consideration.
