Watertown Housing Authority Teams with Non-Profit to Revitalize the Willow Park Property​

“The Watertown Housing Authority (WHA) announced that it will be partnering with the Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH) to redevelop the Willow Park State Public Housing property located in East Watertown. The POAH team was selected earlier this month by the WHA’s Board of Commissioners and Selection Committee after reviewing the proposals.”

“POAH’s proposal is seeking to replace the 60 existing family apartments while also adding new affordable housing apartments that would be targeted to a mix of income ranges. The proposal also calls for enhanced amenities, open space, a more inviting connection to surrounding neighborhoods, and overall site accessibility which is currently lacking at the development.…”

“Copley Wolff was part of the design team, lead by MASS Design Group, which prepared the winning proposal. Copley Wolff is currently supervising landscape construction on the first phase of the Clarendon Hill Redevelopment in Somerville, MA - a project they have been collaborating on with POAH since 2017.”
