Under Trumbull Municipal Code Chapter 10, Section 10-18, affordable housing projects that the Town sponsors—whether on its own or through a partnership—cannot be built on Town-owned land unless the Town Council has specifically designated that parcel for affordable housing use. This rule places a gatekeeping function with the Town Council before any such construction may proceed. The provision applies regardless of whether the Town is acting alone or alongside another organization or developer.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and developers pursuing Town-sponsored affordable housing projects under Chapter 10, Section 10-18 should be aware that site selection is constrained by formal Town Council designation. Compliant operators working with the Town on such projects typically confirm that any proposed Town-owned parcel has received an explicit Council designation before advancing construction plans. Reviewing Town Council records and resolutions for the relevant parcel is a standard step in due diligence for these projects.
