SHARON — The Historic District Commission approved the Sharon Housing Trust’s application to renovate the non-operational Community Center at 99 North Main Street into four units of affordable housing at its Nov. 24 meeting.
Having received an approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission earlier in the month, the HDC’s action marks the final town commission decision for the project, which will convert the interior of the building, originally a Masonic temple, to two-bedroom apartments.
The HDC matched P&Z’s conditions on its approval, asking for a formal demarcation of a unified waste bin site that the new units will share with the six adjacent affordable units already in use at 91, 93, and 95 North Main Street.
