Introduction The Town of North Andover (`Town') is in the process of considering the sale, long-term lease, short-term lease and/or other method of disposition of its property located at 70 Main Street (former Bradstreet School) and 566 Main Street (current police station). The Request for Interest (RFI) is a preliminary step in the overall reuse project intended to foster dialogue about development opportunities for both properties and to establish a basis for future real estate negotiations, as appropriate. Consequently, the Town of North Andover shall not consider the RFI submissions as binding. In addition, potential developers should be aware that if the Town of North Andover chooses to proceed with the disposition of the properties, it must do so in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 30B. These steps include, but are not limited to: o Formal declaration of the Board of Selectmen of property for disposition o Formal vote by Town Meeting to dispose of property o Development of a Request for Proposals (RFP) including evaluation criteria o Advertising of an RFP o Evaluation of submitted proposals o Selection of a finalist The Town will accept proposals delivered in person or by mail. All proposals must be received by 2:00 p.m. on Friday, April 16, 2010 to be considered. 2. Overview The lot at 70 Main Street is 1.15 acres with an existing structure — the former Bradstreet School. The Bradstreet School building was originally constructed in 1885 and rebuilt in 1911. The Bradstreet School used to house kindergarten classes, but the School Department closed it in 2005. The lot at 556 Main Street is 1.57 acres and is the current location of the North Andover Police Department. The Police Department will be moving to its new location in October 2010. Specific information for both parcels is contained in this document as appendices. 3.

OVERVIEW The City of Everett recently completed the construction of a new 325,000 SF High School facility adjacent to Glendale Park. With the opening this academic year beginning September 2007 the City vacated the old high school building. The RFI is a preliminary step in the overall reuse project intended to foster dialogue about development opportunities and to establish a basis for future real estate negotiations, as appropriate. Consequently, the City of Everett shall not consider the RFI submissions to be binding. In addition, potential developers should be aware that if the City of Everett chooses to proceed with the disposition of the land it must do so in accordance with Massachusetts general Laws Chapter 30B as well as City of Everett ordinances. Those steps include, but are not limited to: • Formal declaration by City Council of property for disposition • Development of a Request for Proposals (RFP), including evaluation criteria. • Advertising of an RFP • Selection of a finalist *The City of Everett reserved the right to reject any and all proposals and not to proceed with the sale or disposition of property. 3 CITY OF EVERETT OBJECTIVES Through the RFI Process, the COMNUTTEE is attempting to identify alternatives used for the Old Everett High School building that may result in achieving one or more of the following objectives: • Sale or lease of the entire property to provide maximum financial benefit to the City of Everett. • Sale or lease of a portion of the property to provide some financial benefit to the City of Everett • Sale or lease of a portion of the property to for a price below market rate in exchange for a public / private partnership project to reduce the development and / or constriction costs borne by the City of Everett in its building of a "Government Center" facility. • Sale or lease of all or a portion of the property to provide desirable residential development. • Sale or lease of all or a portion of the property to provide desirable commercial development. * "Sale or lease of all or part of the property" in the objectives section would allow for simultaneous joint and compatible uses. SELECTION CRITERIA Submissions will be reviewed and considered based on the extent to which the proposal enables the City of Everett to meet its Overall Objectives.

Provides references C April 15, 2010 Mr. Ray Santilli Assistant Town Manager North Andover Town Hall 120 Main Street North Andover, MA 01845 Dear Mr. Santilli, This letter will be NOAH's formal submission to the Town's March 17, 2010 Disposition of Property RFI, or Request for Interest, for the Police Station parcel. NOAH and its development partner, SEB LLC, a highly respected 40 year old development firm (www.s-e-b.com), will be joining to develop 16-20 units of quality, for -sale townhouse style units, with parking, on this unusually shaped site. Please see one of our draft concept plans. These concepts eventually go through many iterations and we recognize designs/layout often benefit from dialogue with Town officials and neighborhood residents. We do not regard this as the definitive design solution. We expect to further evaluate potential design and density options as part of our formal response to your selection or a Request for Proposals. Goals: Our goals are to work with the Town and its residents in order to remake a highly visible historic Town parcel, containing a previously valuable but uninviting structure, into a neatly landscaped, very attractive, tax -paying and socially beneficial venture — homes for the area's working families. In addition, we would like to maximize the land value on behalf of the Town so we can potentially pay the Town the highest possible acquisition price. Despite economic challenges these past few years, there remains a documented need for quality housing for the State's young persons and workforce families and we believe the townhouse concept we have included meets that niche. The Program: As shown, the configurations would contain a) six two-bedroom and twelve three-bedroom units, or b) eight two-bedroom and eight three-bedroom units. Each 2BR unit would feature approximately 1,400 sf, while a 3BR unit would feature approximately 1,750 sf.. There would be parking for about 28 vehicles with a private way of 22' running from Main Street to Osgood Street. To control the flow of traffic and prevent rush hour type jams, particularly around the 5 point intersection, there would be no left turns permitted onto Osgood. We are aware that the site has historic value as the former Johnson High School. We would preserve the several monuments and markers on the site if the Town expressed a strong interest to do so.. Because the site is quite visible coming from the old historic Town Center and driving east on Main Street, the tip of the site would be landscaped to be an attractive, passive recreational sitting area. Up to 16 of the units would directly abut NOAH'S own Stevens Corner property. Financial Impact: We have anecdotal evidence and preliminary market data which informs us the units would safely be marketable at prices ranging from $225,000 to $300,000. While market conditions may continue to change in the two years, we would not anticipate prices escalating much beyond these amounts. It would likely take two years to permit and build such units, if the Town were fully supportive of the project. Our preference is that 25% of the units be sold as workforce housing at prices ranging from $165,000 to $185,000. Most any developer would prefer the site delivered without any structures - and we would be no different. We have no current knowledge of lead or other contaminants, toxins or materials which may have leeched into the soil, nor are we aware of any geotechnical analysis that has been conducted on the site. Given that there was a former structure which may have had lead and a present use which may have had to store or keep hazardous materials on site, further testing and analysis of site and soil conditions could definitely affect any price to be offered for this parcel. The relatively low market price anticipated for each unit, in conjunction with inherent site limitations are both critical factors in determining the land value under any development scenario. It remains to be seen whether or not the Town will recognize an acquisition price less than or in excess of the current assessed $578,000 value. Depending on the allowable density, this price may not be financially feasible. As part of our formal proposal, we would expect to run several different development budget scenarios to assess how to maximize the acquisition value without impeding or sacrificing any of the previously mentioned objectives. The significant financial benefit to the Town would come over the long term through property tax payments from 16-18 households. Assuming the FY 2010 tax rate of $12.74 were applied to each of the residential units (4 units at $185,000 and 12 units at $300,000), the gross tax revenue would be projected to be approximately over $55,000 per year, or approximately $275,000 over the first five years. We believe our proposal carefully balances density with land value maximization; we do not believe this site can reasonably support a density greater than that which we have proposed. We also believe our current proposal is consistent with the density of the surrounding neighborhoods. We would not be interested in proposing if the Town indicated that only a density less that what we have proposed is acceptable as we do not believe the development would be financially viable at a lower density. A lease -arrangement could be made through a condo association, but lenders may balk at underwriting. We would prefer not to lease. The Town could take an easement for the historic structures if it wanted them to remain and be maintained at the tip of the triangle. The Town would recognize a financial benefit through the acquisition price we would be prepared to pay, as well as the property taxes recognized from the development. There are other indirect economic impacts (bringing/keeping residents in North Andover to patronize local area businesses) to introducing this type of housing. Moreover, there is an intrinsic and social value to providing high quality home ownership opportunities for people in our projected price range. If required to do so, we would be prepared to provide more specific financial/economic impacts as part of a formal negotiation or proposal. We have heard through previous discussions with nearby residents that commercial activity is not something they want moving down Main Street from the Minicucci property at Rte 125/Main Street. We would not propose or recommend any commercial activities on this site. It would also seem to be incompatible with the recent rebuilding of the historic center of Town only a short distance away. Process: It is our recommendation that the Town decision -makers, including ZBA, strongly consider working together to agree on a draft site plan and density goal. An agreement among Town officials, committees, boards and local residents would greatly facilitate the project (no matter who is chosen), thereby reducing lengthy and costly delays to the project, which negatively affect project finances and credibility, especially on ownership developments. This internal agreement would not preclude project review, oversight or compliance for such entities such as the Planning Board, Cons Comm, Finance, Board of Health or Public Safety. It would remove the some of the most significant barriers to the creation, development, construction and timely completion of a job -creating, multi- million dollar, social and economic investment. Organizational information: • Please see attachments for narratives and data on both NOAH and SEB LLC. SEB assisted NOAH in the permitting of Stevens Corner and the successful filing of the One Stop financing document to DHCD in October 2008. SEB is a very experienced developer with a 40 year history. Since 1987, NOAH has rehabilitated or built new and sold 35 properties in East Boston. We have established and operated several condo associations. We manage our own local portfolio, but Stevens Corner will be managed by Corcoran Properties. SEB has permitted over 9,000 units of mixed income housing in Massachusetts. Most recently, SEB is in the process of developing 10 units of housing in Newton and 62 units of housing in Winchester - both of which are for -sale developments. • Both NOAH and SEB separately have developed rental and ownership properties. SEB has developed all over the State. Please see attachments for descriptions of both NOAH and SEB. • SEB and NOAH are both financially sound entities. NOAH is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization. Our FY '09 audit is on our web site, www.noahcdc.ora Once we close on Stevens Corner this spring, we will end our fiscal year June 30 with another balanced budget. • See attachments for examples of similar projects. • References are also attached. We recognize town -owned property dispositions can be complex, frequently with competing objectives. As is well-known, NOAH is developing the 2.5 acre property next door for rental housing. We believe there will additional opportunities and synergies to be made if our team of professionals and contractors were selected this coming year during the construction of Stevens Corner. Moreover, NOAH and SEB are both well experienced at shepherding these types of initiatives through the public process and then successfully developing them with private support.

This prominent and visible portion of the site would be the natural and pleasant face of the project to many passers-by. It could include the preservation of the existing monument and valued historic elements currently on the parcel. The three-bedroom units, 1,700 sf., consist of a `great room,' which will include a sizable living area, dining area and an open kitchen, in addition to three bedrooms with closets a full bathroom, storage and a mechanical room. Two- bedroom units, of 1,400 sf., are duplexes. The first floor will have a `great room,' which will include a living area, dining area, and an open kitchen, two bedrooms, a half bath, storage area and a mechanical room. The second floor will have two bedrooms with closets and a full bathroom. Floor to floor height dimensions will measure approximately 10'-0" resulting in approximately 9'-0" ceilings. The buildings will be designed in a colonial style with proportions to complement adjoining residential structures, especially those in the nearby historic district.. The finish material will consist of, walls having clapboard finish, double hung windows and trim boards. The roof lines will be designed in a gable style with asphalt shingle finish and dormers, again giving the building a pleasant residential look. The building will be designed using Universal Design implementing principles and regulations pertaining to: The Massachusetts State Building Code 780 CMR sixth edition, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Architectural Access Board 521 CMR, Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Energy Star Requirements. To meet increasingly Green and Sustainable standards, with which we want to meet, we will minimally aim for Energy Star regulations and expect to meet LEED Silver criterion. w1AAu Mission Statement NOAH, the Neighborhood of Affordable Housing, is an East Boston based community development corporation structured to collaborate with and support residents and communities in their pursuit of affordable housing strategies, environmental justice, community planning, leadership development, and economic development opportunities. NOAH eagerly partners with those residents, neighborhood entities, municipalities or groups that share similar values and goals in order to improve standards of living, build community, and create social/economic opportunities, especially for low and moderate -income persons, families and disadvantaged groups or areas. NOAH's goals and programs are built on a commitment to equality, fairness, diversity and respect for all people. March 16, 2006 NEWS from NOAH M^AU Neighborhood of Affordable Housing Newsletter March/April 2010 Groundbreaking in Holliston At Cutler Heights Thanks to the very supportive Town of Holliston, municipal and state leaders, visionary and persistent project partners, and federal government stimulus funds, the thirty -unit Cutler Heights Development in Holliston held its Groundbreaking Ceremony on March 16th. Featured speakers included Secretary of Housing & Economic Development Gregory Bialecki, Department of Housing & Community Development Undersecretary Tina Brooks, State Senator Karen L. Spilka, Representative Carolyn C. Dykema, Holliston Board of Selectmen Chairman Andrew Porter, Massachusetts Housing Partnership Senior Loan Officer Nancy McCafferty, Holliston Housing Authority Chairman Thomas Dumas, and Holliston Community Preservation Committee Chairman Samuel Tyler. NOAH is partnering with JNJUHL Associates and the Holliston Housing Development Corporation, staffed by Brenda Farrell, to produce housing for low- and moderate - income families on 5.4 acres near the center of Holliston. The site will have a computer/multi-purpose room, an outside play area for young children, and open green space for family use. All of the units created will be available to families at or below 60% of the Boston median income. Corcoran Management will be managing the properties and handling all apartment rentals. The project should finish completion by spring of 2011. We wish to thank the project funders and supporters, including the Department of Housing & Community Development (DHCD), the Community Economic Development Assistance Corporation (CEDAC), the Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency (MassHousing), the Middlesex Savings Bank, the Massachusetts Housing Partnership (MHP) and NeighborWorks America; as well as the Town of Holliston, including the Board of Selectmen, Holliston Community Preservation Committee, Holliston Housing Authority, Holliston Housing Committee, and Holliston's State and Federal representatives. NOAH also wishes to thank its Board of Directors for its persistence in supporting suburban partnerships such as this one. Department of Neighborhood Development Funds Trinity House Restoration NOAH would like to express its sincere gratitude to the City of Boston Department of Neighborhood Development (DND) for its award to revitalize Trinity House, a 16 -unit SRO in East Boston, and to create service -enriched housing dedicated for homeless individuals. The 163 year old revered historic structure, first restored by NOAH seventeen years ago, requires exterior historic rehabilitation, including replacement of the window frames and sashes; repairs to the slate and metal roof; repointing of the brick exterior; replacing or repairing the front entry columns; repairing the brownstone entry soffit; and repairs to the vEWS from NOAH J deteriorated dormers and the main roof. These repairs will not only preserve the physical and historical character of Trinity House, but will also tighten the building envelope, decrease energy loss and operating costs, and stabilize the property to ensure its viability as affordable housing. Interior renovations include updates to the common -area kitchen, shared bathrooms and hard -wired smoke detectors. This funding will also enable Pine Street Inn to begin providing social services, which will have a dramatic effect on the ability of formerly homeless tenants to transition to this new permanent housing opportunity. The Pine Street model for supportive services is widely recognized as one of the Commonwealth's best and has proven extremely effective in keeping individuals housed long-term. Together, Pine Street and NOAH can help previously homeless tenants manage the difficulty of daily life in a supportive environment when many other housing options are unworkable. An on-site case manager will help residents to connect with community services, maintain stability, and avoid a return to homelessness. Rebecca Plaut Mautner, formerly with the Women's Institute for Housing and Economic Development and now an independent affordable housing development consultant, served as Manager/Development Consultant for the revitalization project. An Awards Night Is planned for an evening in late spring, both as a fundraising event and to celebrate the restoration of Trinity House. Rick Dimino, President & CEO of A Better City, and one who was "raised" in the nurturing environment of Trinity Neighborhood House, will be helping to lead the fundraising effort. NOAH's Fundraising Committee is arranging the Awards Night. Co-chaired by NOAH Board members Michael Lake, Executive Director of Northeastern University's World Class Cities Partnership, and Jennifer McCloskey Listemann, Esq., with Law Offices in Charlestown, the Committee has set a goal to raise $50,000. We will keep you posted as plans are finalized! If you are interested in finding out more about Trinity House or the upcoming event, please contact Phil Giffee at 617-418-8240. Division of Banks Awards NOAH $52,000 for Foreclosure Prevention NOAH was granted $52,414 by the Division of Banks under the 2010 Chapter 206 Foreclosure Prevention and First Time Homebuyer Counseling Program. In his award letter, Commissioner of Banks Steven L. Antonakes stated that NOAH 'presented a strong work -plan and commitment towards homeownership and wealth retention'. These funds help NOAH provide education and counseling to families in need in Boston neighborhoods and in areas north of Boston, including Malden, Lynn, Chelsea and Revere. Since beginning this free program in October of 2007, NOAH has helped over 1,100 families in more than 55 communities.

We are very grateful to TD Bank for its ongoing support! Sovereign Bank Supports NOAH, Too! NOAH has learned that Sovereign Bank plans a donation to NOAH's 2010 Affordable Housing work, as well; for which we are grateful. NOAH's affordable housing programming is dedicated to creating or maintaining housing for low- and moderate - income families.

Hall Charity Fund in the amounts of $10,000 each. Thank you! These awards supplement the wonderful support received from the City of Boston Department of Neighborhood Development for this work.

Since its inception in 1987, the organization has developed 218 units of housing, with 163 more units in the pipeline. A representative portfolio of NOAH's real estate development experience includes the following projects: • Boston "1-4" Homeownership Program: NOAH completed the rehabilitation of 35 buildings (totaling 74 units) for sale to first-time homebuyers under the Boston "1-4" Program. In 2006/07, NOAH completed three homeownership projects totaling 20 units, including Border/Falcon, Meridian St and a single family at 87 Princeton St. These total renovation projects were developed in cooperation with the City of Boston Department of Neighborhood Development (DND), the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) Boston Community Capital (BCC) and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), sometimes with the investment of the Fannie Mae Foundation or other foundations. The projects were completed in 2007/08. • 146-148 Putnam Street Project: a new construction project involving the demolition of a deteriorated 9 -unit building into four new units in two attached buildings sold to first time homebuyers. NOAH developed the project in cooperation with DND, DHCD, Boston Community Capital and the Fannie Mae Foundation. 1997 • Shalom Properties: a 30 -unit scattered -site, affordable rental project involving seven buildings, of which 16 units had been foreclosed condominiums purchased separately by NOAH in the early/mid 1990s. NOAH rehabilitated then refinanced with the Massachusetts Housing Partnership (MHP), to do more work in the properties in 1997-1998. DND and the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation are financial participants. The refi/rehab project was completed in June 1998. • Eutaw -Meridian Rehabilitation Project (Paz Properties): a nine -unit mixed-use rehabilitation project involving six NOAH -managed affordable rental units, a three -unit property sold to a first-time homebuyer, and 1,600 square feet of retail space.

The project was completed in December 1997. • Eagle Hill Rental Rehabilitation Project: a three -building, l7 -unit affordable rental project. NOAH developed these in cooperation with the East Boston Savings Bank, MHP, DND, and the Federal Home Loan Bank's Affordable Housing Program. The project was completed in January 1995. • Trinity House. a 16 -unit affordable rental project involving the rehabilitation and adaptive re -use of a historic structure (now on the National Register of Historic Places) as single -room occupancy housing. NOAH developed the project in cooperation with the National Equity Fund, DND, Boston's Housing Trust, and the Massachusetts Government Land Bank (now Mass Development). The project was completed in December 1992. An' historic rehabilitation project is beginning in 2010 for this revered neighborhood building. • Siochain Properties: Two badly deteriorated six -family buildings rehabilitated into 12 -units of family rental housing and two commercial units using Citizens Bank tax credits, DND, and LISC (Harvard University funded) capital. The property was NOAH's sixth on the Meridian St. thoroughfare, helping giving the street a major facelift. The project was completed in 2001. • 143 Border Sheet. a $5 million new construction, office condominium project of 20,000sf. The first floor is NOAH's new home. Project Bread / The Walk for Hunger owns the top two floors. NOAH rents space to the Salvadoran Consulate in the tower level. • Suburban: NOAH is increasingly pursuing opportunities in non -urban Boston locations. We own a vacant nursing home on a 2.5 acre site in North Andover. It will contain 42 rental units. A $10.2M One Stop has been awarded tax credits. NOAH is co -developing a project in Holliston, Cutler Heights - 30 rental units using LIHTC. DHCD approved the One Stop in August 2008. In December of 2008, the NOAH team was designated by the Carlisle Housing Authority to build 26 mixed -income senior units (Benfield Farms) on land purchased with the Town's CPA funds. NOAH was designated by the Town of Webster to develop their historic Sitkowski School into 66 senior units. The Sudbury Housing Trust selected NOAH to develop six first time homeownership units on a vacant parcel of town land. NOAH also owns properties in Beverly and Everett. Except for Cutler Heights in Holliston which is a partnership project, NOAH has been responsible for all aspects of the development process, including acquisition, financial feasibility, packaging, design, construction oversight, marketing and occupancy. Further suburban growth is being explored and LIHTC financing is being pursued.

In North Andover, we are preparing for a closing for our 42 -unit development, Stevens Corner; thanks again to Governor Patrick's administration. In 2009, we also were very fortunate to be selected as development partners by the towns of Carlisle, Sudbury and Webster. We are very grateful to the officials and residents of these sub- urban communities which are doing their best to create and fund affordable housing. There are very savvy, passionate people in these towns committed to building afford- able housing. In East Boston, we are working with the City and multiple lenders to stem the tide of foreclosures. We are also helping owners achieve loan modifications in over 55 other communities in the region. `Thus far, we have served more than 1,100 families in foreclosure prevention. We are very proud of our Community Building/Environment Department (CBE) which has outstanding youth ('E3C' and `Know What's Up') programs. These energetic youth maintained a community garden and held workshops and Hip -Hop concerts for young persons so they could discuss problems and issues of concern. Our organizing staff is deeply involved in activities to clean and preserve the Mystic River Watershed and Chelsea Creek. The Chelsea River Revel is scheduled for Saturday, July 24 this year. The effects of Climate Change are an increasing focus of our work, especially as our urban neighborhood on the water will be dramatically affected by rising sea levels. We do so much more than we can write here, but be assured we are more than grate- ful for the support our friends, investors, stakeholders, funders, officials and partners show to us and our work. We promise to work diligently for more great results in 2010. Thank you, Dharmena Downey, Board President Philip Giffee, Executive Director 143 BORDER STREET, EAST BOSTON, MA 02128 WWW.NOAHCDC.ORG �.

For More Information Philip Giffee, Executive Director 143 Border Street, East Boston, MA 02128 Email: philipgiffee@noahcdc.org Phone: 617-418-8240 143 BORDER STREET, EAST BOSTON, MA 02128 WWW.NOAHCDC.ORG Reflecting Back - 22 Years - Looking Forward The Neighborhood of Affordable Housing (NOAH) has entered its twenty-second year as a multi -service non-profit community development corporation. We began serving East Boston in 1987 as a two -person organization operating from the basement of Our Savior's Lutheran Church. The early faith -based founders were members of the East Boston Ecumenical Council. NOAH now serves the extended Greater Boston Region. While both original employees remain, our organizational capacity has grown, and NOAH has twenty-two adult staff members and ten youth intems governed by a multi -cultural fourteen -member Board of Directors. While our business lines and initiatives have multiplied, our original goals remain the nucleus of our work: creating and preserving affordable housing opportunities and building safe and healthy neighborhoods for those most in need and others challenged by today's housing market. During the past two decades, NOAH's core neighborhood of East Boston has become increasingly diverse, with many new arrivals from Asia, Eastern Europe, and most of all, from Latin America. The population is now comprised of over 50% minority families; and 42% of all residents are new immigrants. Some 20% of the population lives in poverty. NOAH's clientele - in East Boston and elsewhere within the Greater Boston Region, including the North and South Shores and MetroWest is comprised of disadvantaged low- and moderate -income families. NOAH works towards achieving the National Housing Goal of "a decent home and suitable living environment" for as many underprivileged individuals as it can, both locally and regionally. We look to accomplish this through an increasing number of social and environmental benefit programs: counseling families on buying and renting affordable homes and on avoiding or mitigating foreclosure, building and redeveloping properties into affordable homes, maintaining our own rental housing property portfolio, helping the elderly and handicapped with handicapped -accessibility and home -safety repairs, focusing on affordable rental preservation initiatives, and developing significant environmental and neighborhood restoration programs. NOAH has cultivated a strong track record over the past twenty-two years. Over 675 families now own their first home due to NOAH's individual homeownership counseling efforts; and we have held group workshops on saving, budgeting, credit and home -buying for thousands since the mid -1990's. We have helped more than 3,000 senior and disabled homeowners remain securely in their -own homes by completing over 7,000 safety-related, emergency, and handicapped accessibility repairs. In addition, we have located affordable rental housing for over 2,000 Boston families through our rental counseling efforts. In the last two -and -a -half years, our new foreclosure prevention and mitigation initiative has counseled over 1,100'at risk' families; our staff is well-trained and works aggressively on loan modifications to keep families in their homes. We have also worked closely with the Boston Housing Authority and the City of Boston to assist 51 low-lmoderate-income families become first-time homebuyers in a pilot program; which we are now repeating, with additional BHA/HUD HOPE -VI funds, to create 50 more such client first-time homeowners. During the last fiscal year, NOAH served over 1,500 households, representing 3,000 -plus individuals. Approximately 75% of NOAH's clients represent an ethnic 'minority' population. Over 60% of our clients are Hispanic Spanish speakers. Over half of NOAH's clientele represent first generation new immigrant families. The majority of households served have children. Eighty%o of NOAH's clients earn less than -80% of the Average Median Income (AMI) and 40-50% earn less than 50% AMI. Clients from over 55 communities were served by NOAH during the last year. NOAH has either rehabilitated or newly developed 218 units within 62 buildings. We currently own and rent 103 affordable units in over 17 properties in East Boston, Everett and Beverly; 20% of which are dedicated to the homeless. We fully restored Trinity House in 1993 for use as a single -room occupancy shelter. This lovely building is 150 years old, and on the National Register of Historic Places. Historically, NOAH has been a state leader in the "One -to -Four Family" program. Both the Pew Charitable Trust and Lilly Endowment have presented us with community development awards; and we have been named "Business of the Year" by the East Boston Chamber of Commerce. In East Boston, open space and environmental restitution are critical priorities. Logan Airport consumes nearly two- thirds of the land mass, and its extensive development resulted in the destruction of Wood Island Park, designed by noted landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. It is the fifth�most polluted community in the State; and borders the Chelsea Creek (actually a river) which is the second -most contaminated body of water in Massachusetts. The Chelsea Creek, as well as its shoreline, is now involved in restoration efforts by NOAH and its collaborating partner organization in the Chelsea Creek Action Group (CCAG), the Chelsea Green Space and Recreation Committee. Together, we have performed work in salt marsh and wetlands restoration; oil spill mitigation; Brownfields "clean up" projects; and additional air, land and water pollution remediation. With NOAH's assistance and resident collaboration, East Boston now has seven attractively redeveloped school yards, a four -and -a -half -acre waterfront "Urban Wild" park, and a youth -run community garden. Because of NOAH's bilingual social services programming, there is a new East Boston youth soccer initiative working with more than 80 children annually; an ongoing Summer Schoolyard program serving up to 200 elementary school children for seven weeks each year; and scores of inhabitants, including young people, have become trained as community leaders. NOAH's "Know What's Up" youth interns hold six bilingual hip hop and spoken -word concerts each year, educating 300+ area youth attendees regarding important social justice issues and about how they can become involved in positive solutions. Our EX environmental interns were the only youth to present at the 2007 'Environmental Justice in America' Conference in Washington D.C., and were awarded a City of Boston 'Green Award' from Mayor Menino in 2008. Approximately 250 foreign -born inhabitants have learned basic English skills through NOAH's English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program, which has now been expanded to five days per week. A number of years ago, NOAH's Board made the decision to extend the services of our urban non-profit into the suburbs. Many young people were leaving these towns, and the state, for less expensive regions; and the lack of reasonably priced housing was often sited as one of the major factors. Moreover, police, fire, DPW workers, teachers and many others found it hard to live within the towns in which they worked. Accordingly, NOAH extended its reach, and now offers to partner with municipalities that do, not have the services available of another non-profit CDC organization. NOAH has five 'pipeline' affordable housing projects in development at present, which will create 170 new affordable homes. NOAH's Mission Statement guides all of our programming and relationships: "NOAH, the Neighborhood of Affordable Housing, is an East Boston based community development corporation structured to collaborate with and support residents and communities in their pursuit of affordable housing strategies, environmental justice, community planning, leadership development, and economic development opportunities. NOAH eagerly partners with those residents, neighborhood entities, municipalities or groups that share similar values and goals in order to improve standards of living, build community, and create socialleconomic opportunities, especially for low- and moderate - income persons, families and disadvantaged groups or areas.

NOAH and its development partner, SEB LLC, a highly respected 40 year old development firm (www.s-e-b.com), will be joining to develop 16-20 units of quality, for -sale townhouse style units, with parking, on this unusually shaped site. Please see one of our draft concept plans. These concepts eventually go through many iterations and we recognize designs/layout often benefit from dialogue with Town officials and neighborhood residents. We do not regard this as the definitive design solution. We expect to further evaluate potential design and density options as part of our formal response to your selection or a Request for Proposals. Goals: Our goals are to work with the Town and its residents in order to remake a highly visible historic Town parcel, containing a previously valuable but uninviting structure, into a neatly landscaped, very attractive, tax -paying and socially beneficial venture — homes for the area's working families. In addition, we would like to maximize the land value on behalf of the Town so we can potentially pay the Town the highest possible acquisition price. Despite economic challenges these past few years, there remains a documented need for quality housing for the State's young persons and workforce families and we believe the townhouse concept we have included meets that niche. The Program: As shown, the configurations would contain a) six two-bedroom and twelve three-bedroom units, or b) eight two-bedroom and eight three-bedroom units. Each 2BR unit would feature approximately 1,400 sf, while a 3BR unit would feature approximately 1,750 sf.. There would be parking for about 28 vehicles with a private way of 22' running from Main Street to Osgood Street. To control the flow of traffic and prevent rush hour type jams, particularly around the 5 point intersection, there would be no left turns permitted onto Osgood. We are aware that the site has historic value as the former Johnson High School. We would preserve the several monuments and markers on the site if the Town expressed a strong interest to do so.. Because the site is quite visible coming from the old historic Town Center and driving east on Main Street, the tip of the site would be landscaped to be an attractive, passive recreational sitting area. Up to 16 of the units would directly abut NOAH's own Stevens Corner property. Financial Impact: We have anecdotal evidence and preliminary market data which informs us the units would safely be marketable at prices ranging from $225,000 to $300,000. While market conditions may continue to change in the two years, we would not anticipate prices escalating much beyond these amounts. It would likely take two years to permit and build such units, if the Town were fully supportive of the project. Our preference is that 25% of the units be sold as workforce housing at prices ranging from $165,000 to $185,000. Most any developer would prefer the site delivered without any structures - and we would be no different. We have no current knowledge of lead or other contaminants, toxins or materials which may have leeched into the soil, nor are we aware of any geotechnical analysis that has been conducted on the site. Given that there was a former structure which may have had lead and a present use which may have had to store or keep hazardous materials on site, further testing and analysis of site and soil conditions could definitely affect any price to be offered for this parcel. The relatively low market price anticipated for each unit, in conjunction with inherent site limitations are both critical factors in determining the land value under any development scenario. It remains to be seen whether or not the Town will recognize an acquisition price less than or in excess of the current assessed $578,000 value. Depending on the allowable density, this price may not be financially feasible. As part of our formal proposal, we would expect to run several different development budget scenarios to assess how to maximize the acquisition value without impeding or sacrificing any of the previously mentioned objectives. The significant financial benefit to the Town would come over the long term through property tax payments from 16-18 households. Assuming the FY 2010 tax rate of $12.74 were applied to each of the residential units (4 units at $185,000 and 12 units at $300,000), the gross tax revenue would be projected to be approximately over $55,000 per year, or approximately $275,000 over the first five years. We believe our proposal carefully balances density with land value maximization; we do not believe this site can reasonably support a density greater than that which we have proposed. We also believe our current proposal is consistent with the density of the surrounding neighborhoods. We would not be interested in proposing if the Town indicated that only a density less that what we have proposed is acceptable as we do not believe the development would be financially viable at a lower density. A lease -arrangement could be made through a condo association, but lenders may balk at underwriting. We would prefer not to lease. The Town could take an easement for the historic structures if it wanted them to remain and be maintained at the tip of the triangle. The Town would recognize a financial benefit through the acquisition price we would be prepared to pay, as well as the property taxes recognized from the development. There are other indirect economic impacts (bringing/keeping residents in North Andover to patronize local area businesses) to introducing this type of housing. Moreover, there is an intrinsic and social value to providing high quality home ownership opportunities for people in our projected price range. If required to do so, we would be prepared to provide more specific financial/economic impacts as part of a formal negotiation or proposal. We have heard through previous discussions with nearby residents that commercial activity is not something they want moving down Main Street from the Minicucci property at Rte 125/Main Street. We would not propose or recommend any commercial activities on this site. It would also seem to be incompatible with the recent rebuilding of the historic center of Town only a short distance away. Process: It is our recommendation that the Town decision -makers, including ZBA, strongly consider working together to agree on a draft site plan and density goal. An agreement among Town officials, committees, boards and local residents would greatly facilitate the project (no matter who is chosen), thereby reducing lengthy and costly delays to the project, which negatively affect project finances and credibility, especially on ownership developments. This internal agreement would not preclude project review, oversight or compliance for such entities such as the Planning Board, Cons Comm, Finance, Board of Health or Public Safety. It would remove the some of the most significant barriers to the creation, development, construction and timely completion of a job -creating, multi- million dollar, social and economic investment. Organizational information: • Please see attachments for narratives and data on both NOAH and SEB LLC. SEB assisted NOAH in the permitting of Stevens Corner and the successful filing of the One Stop financing document to DHCD in October 2008. SEB is a very experienced developer with a 40 year history. Since 1987, NOAH has rehabilitated or built new and sold 35 properties in East Boston. We have established and operated several condo associations. We manage our own local portfolio, but Stevens Corner will be managed by Corcoran Properties. SEB has permitted over 9,000 units of mixed income housing in Massachusetts. Most recently, SEB is in the process of developing 10 units of housing in Newton and 62 units of housing in Winchester - both of which are for -sale developments. • Both NOAH and SEB separately have developed rental and ownership properties. SEB has developed all over the State. Please see attachments for descriptions of both NOAH and SEB. • SEB and NOAH are both financially sound entities. NOAH is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization. Our FY '09 audit is on our web site, www.noahcdc.ora Once we close on Stevens Corner this spring, we will end our fiscal year June 30 with another balanced budget. • See attachments for examples of similar projects. • References are also attached. We recognize town -owned property dispositions can be complex, frequently with competing objectives. As is well-known, NOAH is developing the 2.5 acre property next door for rental housing. We believe there will additional opportunities and synergies to be made if our team of professionals and contractors were selected this coming year during the construction of Stevens Corner. Moreover, NOAH and SEB are both well experienced at shepherding these types of initiatives through the public process and then successfully developing them with private support.

This prominent and visible portion of the site would be the natural and pleasant face of the project to many passers-by. It could include the preservation of the existing monument and valued historic elements currently on the parcel. The three-bedroom units, 1,700 sf., consist of a 'great room,' which will include a sizable living area, dining area and an open kitchen, in addition to three bedrooms with closets a full bathroom, storage and a mechanical room. Two- bedroom units, of 1,400 sf., are duplexes. The first floor will have a 'great room,' which will include a living area, dining area, and an open kitchen, two bedrooms, a half bath, storage area and a mechanical room. The second floor will have two bedrooms with closets and a full bathroom. Floor to floor height dimensions will measure approximately 10'-0" resulting in approximately 9'-0" ceilings. The buildings will be designed in a colonial style with proportions to complement adjoining residential structures, especially those in the nearby historic district.. The finish material will consist of, walls having clapboard finish, double hung windows and trim boards. The roof lines will be designed in a gable style with asphalt shingle finish and dormers, again giving the building a pleasant residential look. The building will be designed using Universal Design implementing principles and regulations pertaining to: The Massachusetts State Building Code 780 CMR sixth edition, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Architectural Access Board 521 CMR, Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Energy Star Requirements. To meet increasingly Green and Sustainable standards, with which we want to meet, we will minimally aim for Energy Star regulations and expect to meet LEED Silver criterion. Mission Statement NOAH, the Neighborhood of Affordable Housing, is an East Boston based community development corporation structured to collaborate with and support residents and communities in their pursuit of affordable housing strategies, environmental justice, community planning, leadership development, and economic development opportunities. NOAH eagerly partners with those residents, neighborhood entities, municipalities or groups that share similar values and goals in order to improve standards of living, build community, and create social/economic opportunities, especially for low and moderate -income persons, families and disadvantaged groups or areas. NOAH's goals and programs are built on a commitment to equality, fairness, diversity and respect for all people. March 16, 2006 NEWS from NOAH DJ^Au Neighborhood of Affordable Housing Newsletter March/April 2010 Groundbreaking in Holliston At Cutler Heights Thanks to the very supportive Town of Holliston, municipal and state leaders, visionary and persistent project partners, and federal government stimulus funds, the thirty -unit Cutler Heights Development in Holliston held its Groundbreaking Ceremony on March 16th. Featured speakers included Secretary of Housing & Economic Development Gregory Bialecki, Department of Housing & Community Development Undersecretary Tina Brooks, State Senator Karen L. Spilka, Representative Carolyn C. Dykema, Holliston Board of Selectmen Chairman Andrew Porter, Massachusetts Housing Partnership Senior Loan Officer Nancy McCafferty, Holliston Housing Authority Chairman Thomas Dumas, and Holliston Community Preservation Committee Chairman Samuel Tyler. NOAH is partnering with JNJUHL Associates and the Holliston Housing Development Corporation, staffed by Brenda Farrell, to produce housing for low- and moderate - income families on 5.4 acres near the center of Holliston. The site will have a computer/multi-purpose room, an outside play area for young children, and open green space for family use. All of the units created will be available to families at or below 60% of the Boston median income. Corcoran Management will be managing the properties and handling all apartment rentals. The project should finish completion by spring of 2011. We wish to thank the project funders and supporters, including the Department of Housing & Community Development (DHCD), the Community Economic Development Assistance Corporation (CEDAC), the Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency (MassHousing), the Middlesex Savings Bank, the Massachusetts Housing Partnership (MHP) and NeighborWorks America; as well as the Town of Holliston, including the Board of Selectmen, Holliston Community Preservation Committee, Holliston Housing Authority, Holliston Housing Committee, and Holliston's State and Federal representatives. NOAH also wishes to thank its Board of Directors for its persistence in supporting suburban partnerships such as this one. Department of Neighborhood Development Funds Trinity House Restoration iJ .H NOAH would like to express its sincere gratitude to the City of Boston Department of Neighborhood Development (DND) for its award to revitalize Trinity House, a 16 -unit SRO in East Boston, and to create service -enriched housing dedicated for homeless individuals. The 163 year old revered historic structure, first restored by NOAH seventeen years ago, requires exterior historic rehabilitation, including replacement of the window frames and sashes; repairs to the slate and metal roof; repointing of the brick exterior; replacing or repairing the front entry columns; repairing the brownstone entry soffit; and repairs to the NEWS from NOAH a deteriorated dormers and the main roof. These repairs will not only preserve the physical and historical character of Trinity House, but will also tighten the building envelope, decrease energy loss and operating costs, and stabilize the property to ensure its viability as affordable housing. Interior renovations include updates to the common -area kitchen, shared bathrooms and hard -wired smoke detectors. This funding will also enable Pine Street Inn to begin providing social services, which will have a dramatic effect on the ability of formerly homeless tenants to transition to this new permanent housing opportunity. The Pine Street model for supportive services is widely recognized as one of the Commonwealth's best and has proven extremely effective in keeping individuals housed long-term. Together, Pine Street and NOAH can help previously homeless tenants manage the difficulty of daily life in a supportive environment when many other housing options are unworkable. An on-site case manager will help residents to connect with community services, maintain stability, and avoid a return to homelessness. Rebecca Plaut Mautner, formerly with the Women's Institute for Housing and Economic Development and now an independent affordable housing development consultant, served as Manager/Development Consultant for the revitalization project. An Awards Night is planned for an evening in late spring, both as a fundraising event and to celebrate the restoration of Trinity House. Rick Dimino, President & CEO of A Better City, and one who was "raised" in the nurturing environment of Trinity Neighborhood House, will be helping to lead the fundraising effort. NOAH's Fundraising Committee is arranging the Awards Night. Co-chaired by NOAH Board members Michael Lake, Executive Director of Northeastern University's World Class Cities Partnership, and Jennifer McCloskey Listemann, Esq., with Law Offices in Charlestown, the Committee has set a goal to raise $50,000. We will keep you posted as plans are finalized! If you are interested in finding out more about Trinity House or the upcoming event, please contact Phil Giffee at 617-418-8240. Division of Banks Awards NOAH $52,000 for Foreclosure Prevention NOAH was granted $52,414 by the Division of Banks under the 2010 Chapter 206 Foreclosure Prevention and First Time Homebuyer Counseling Program. In his award letter, Commissioner of Banks Steven L. Antonakes stated that NOAH 'presented a strong work -plan and commitment towards homeownership and wealth retention'. These funds help NOAH provide education and counseling to families in need in Boston neighborhoods and in areas north of Boston, including Malden, Lynn, Chelsea and Revere. Since beginning this free program in October of 2007, NOAH has helped over 1,100 families in more than 55 communities.

Since its inception in 1987, the organization has developed 218 units of housing, with 163 more units in the pipeline. A representative portfolio of NOAH's real estate development experience includes the following projects: • Boston "1-4" Homeownership Program: NOAH completed the rehabilitation of 35 buildings (totaling 74 units) for sale to first-time homebuyers under the Boston "14" Program. In 2006/07, NOAH completed three homeownership projects totaling 20 units, including Border/Falcon, Meridian St and a single family at 87 Princeton St. These total renovation projects were developed in cooperation with the City of Boston Department of Neighborhood Development (DND), the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) Boston Community Capital (BCC) and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), sometimes with the investment of the Fannie Mae Foundation or other foundations. The projects were completed in 2007/08. • 146-148 Putnam Street Project: a new construction project involving the demolition of a deteriorated 9 -unit building into four new units in two attached buildings sold to first time homebuyers. NOAH developed the project in cooperation with DND, DHCD, Boston Community Capital and the Fannie Mae Foundation. 1997 • Shalom Properties: a 30 -unit scattered -site, affordable rental project involving seven buildings, of which 16 units had been foreclosed condominiums purchased separately by NOAH in the early/mid 1990s. NOAH rehabilitated then refinanced with the Massachusetts Housing Partnership (MHP), to do more work in the properties in 1997-1998. DND and the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation are financial participants. The refi/rehab project was completed in June 1998. • Eutaw Meridian Rehabilitation Project (Paz Properties): a nine -unit mixed-use rehabilitation project involving six NOAH -managed affordable rental units, a three -unit property sold to a first-time homebuyer, and 1,600 square feet of retail space. NOAH developed the project in cooperation with the BCC, the City of Boston's Public Facilities Department (DND), and DHCD. The project was completed in December 1997. • Eagle Hill Rental Rehabilitation Project: a three -building, 17 -unit affordable rental project. NOAH developed these in cooperation with the East Boston Savings Bank, MHP, DND, and the Federal Home Loan Bank's Affordable Housing Program. The project was completed in January 1995. • Trinity House: a 16 -unit affordable rental project involving the rehabilitation and adaptive re -use of a historic structure (now on the National Register of Historic Places) as single -room occupancy housing. NOAH developed the project in cooperation with the National Equity Fund, DND, Boston's Housing Trust, and the Massachusetts Government Land Bank (now Mass Development). The project was completed in December 1992. An historic rehabilitation project is beginning in 2010 for this revered neighborhood building. • Siochain Properties: Two badly deteriorated six -family buildings rehabilitated into 12 -units of family rental housing and two commercial units using Citizens Bank tax credits, DND, and LISC (Harvard University funded) capital. The property was NOAH's sixth on the Meridian St. thoroughfare, helping giving the street a major facelift. The project was completed in 2001. • 143 Border Street: a $5 million new construction, office condominium project of 20,OOOsf. The first floor is NOAH's new home. Project Bread / The Walk for Hunger owns the top two floors. NOAH rents space to the Salvadoran Consulate in the lower level. • Suburban: NOAH is increasingly pursuing opportunities in non -urban Boston locations. We own a vacant nursing home on a 2.5 acre site in North Andover. It will contain 42 rental units. A $10.2M One Stop has been awarded tax credits. NOAH is co -developing a project in Holliston, Cutler Heights - 30 rental units using LIHTC. DHCD approved the One Stop in August 2008. In December of 2008, the NOAH team was designated by the Carlisle Housing Authority to build 26 mixed -income senior units (Benfield Farms) on land purchased with the Town's CPA funds. NOAH was designated by the Town of Webster to develop their historic Sitkowski School into 66 senior units. The Sudbury Housing Trust selected NOAH to develop six first time homeownership units on a vacant parcel of town land. NOAH also owns properties in Beverly and Everett. Except for Cutler Heights in Holliston which is a partnership project, NOAH has been responsible for all aspects of the development process, including acquisition, financial feasibility, packaging, design, construction oversight, marketing and occupancy. Further suburban growth is being explored and LIHTC financing is being pursued.

For More Information Philip Giffee, Executive Director 143 Border Street, East Boston, MA 02128 Email: philipgiffee@noahcdc.org Phone: 617418-8240 143 BORDER STREET, EAST BOSTON, MA 02128 WWW.NOAHCDC.ORG Reflecting Back - 22 Years - Looking Forward The Neighborhood of Affordable Housing (NOAH) has entered its twenty-second year as a multi -service non-profit community development corporation. We began serving East Boston in 1987 as a two -person organization operating from the basement of Our Savior's Lutheran Church. The early faith -based founders were members of the East Boston Ecumenical Council. NOAH now serves the extended Greater Boston Region. While both original employees remain, our organizational capacity has grown, and NOAH has twenty-two adult staff members and ten youth intems governed by a multi -cultural fourteen -member Board of Directors. While our business lines and initiatives have multiplied, our original goals remain the nucleus of our work: creating and preserving affordable housing opportunities and building safe and healthy neighborhoods for those most in need and others challenged by today's housing market. During the past two decades, NOAH's core neighborhood of East Boston has become increasingly diverse, with many new arrivals from Asia, Eastern Europe, and most of all, from Latin America. The population is now comprised of over 50% minority families; and 42% of all residents are new immigrants. Some 20% of the population lives in poverty. NOAH's clientele - in East Boston and elsewhere within the Greater Boston Region, including the North and South Shores and MetroWest is comprised of disadvantaged low- and moderate -income families. NOAH works towards achieving the National Housing Goal of "a decent home and suitable living environment" for as many underprivileged individuals as it can, both locally and regionally. We look to accomplish this through an increasing number of social and environmental benefit programs: counseling families on buying and renting affordable homes and on avoiding or mitigating foreclosure, building and redeveloping properties into affordable homes, maintaining our own rental housing property portfolio, helping the elderly and handicapped with handicapped -accessibility and home -safety repairs, focusing on affordable rental preservation initiatives, and developing significant environmental and neighborhood restoration programs. NOAH has cultivated a strong track record over the past twenty-two years. Over 675 families now own their first home due to NOAH's individual homeownership counseling efforts; and we have held group workshops on saving, budgeting, credit and home -buying for thousands since the mid -1990's. We have helped more than 3;000 senior and disabled homeowners remain securely in their -own homes by completing over 7,000 safety-related, emergency, and handicapped accessibility repairs. In addition, we have located affordable rental housing for over 2,000 Boston families through our rental counseling efforts. In the last two -and -a -half years, our new foreclosure prevention and mitigation initiative has counseled over 1,100'at risk' families; our staff is well-trained and works aggressively on loan modifications to keep families in their homes. We have also worked closely with the Boston Housing Authority and the City of Boston to assist 51 low-lmoderate-income families become first-time homebuyers in a pilot program; which we are now repeating, with additional BHA/HUD HOPE -VI funds, to create 50 more such client first-time homeowners. During the last fiscal year, NOAH served over 1,500 households, representing 3,000 -plus individuals. Approximately 75% of NOAH's clients represent an ethnic 'minority' population. Over 60% of our clients are Hispanic Spanish speakers. Over half of NOAH's clientele represent first generation new immigrant families. The majority of households served have children. Eighty% of NOAH's clients earn less than 80% of the Average Median Income (AMI) and 40-50% earn less than 50% AMI. Clients from over 55 communities were served by NOAH during the last year. NOAH has either rehabilitated or newly developed 218 units within 62 buildings. We currently own and rent 103 affordable units in over 17 properties in East Boston, Everett and Beverly; 20% of which are dedicated to the homeless. We fully restored Trinity House in 1993 for use as a single -room occupancy shelter. This lovely building is 150 years old, and on the National Register of Historic Places. Historically, NOAH has been a state leader in the "One -to -Four Family" program. Both the Pew Charitable Trust and Lilly Endowment have presented us with community development awards; and we have been named "Business of the Year" by the East Boston Chamber of Commerce. In East Boston, open space and environmental restitution are critical priorities. Logan Airport consumes nearly two- thirds of the land mass, and its extensive development resulted in the destruction of Wood Island Park, designed by noted landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. It is the fifth -most polluted community in the State; and borders the Chelsea Creek (actually a river) which is the second -most contaminated body of water in Massachusetts. The Chelsea Creek, as well as its shoreline, is now involved in restoration efforts by NOAH and its collaborating partner organization in the Chelsea Creek Action Group (CCAG), the Chelsea Green Space and Recreation Committee. Together, we have performed work in salt marsh and wetlands restoration; oil spill mitigation; Brownfields "clean up" projects; and additional air, land and water pollution remediation. With NOAH's assistance and resident collaboration, East Boston now has seven attractively redeveloped school yards, a four -and -a -half acre waterfront "Urban Wild" park, and a youth -run community garden. Because of NOAH's bilingual social services programming, there is a new East Boston youth soccer initiative working with more than 80 children annually; an ongoing Summer Schoolyard program serving up to 200 elementary school children for seven weeks each year; and scores of inhabitants, including young people, have become trained as community leaders. NOAH's "Know What's Up" youth interns hold six bilingual hip hop and spoken -word concerts each year, educating 300+ area youth attendees regarding important social justice issues and about how they can become involved in positive solutions. Our EX environmental interns were the only youth to present at the 2007 'Environmental Justice in America' Conference in Washington D.C., and were awarded a City of Boston 'Green Award' from Mayor Menino in 2008. Approximately 250 foreign -born inhabitants have learned basic English skills through NOAH's English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program, which has now been expanded to five days per week. A number of years ago, NOAH's Board made the decision to extend the services of our urban non-profit into the suburbs. Many young people were leaving these towns, and the state, for less expensive regions; and the lack of reasonably priced housing was often sited as one of the major factors. Moreover, police, fire, DPW workers, teachers and many others found it hard to live within the towns in which they worked. Accordingly, NOAH extended its reach, and now offers to partner with municipalities that do not have the services available of another non-profit CDC organization. NOAH has five 'pipeline' affordable housing projects in development at present, which will create 170 new affordable homes. NOAH's Mission Statement guides all of our programming and relationships: "NOAH, the Neighborhood of Affordable Housing, is an East Boston based community development corporation structured to collaborate with and support residents and communities in their pursuit of affordable housing strategies, environmental justice, community planning, leadership development, and economic development opportunities. NOAH eagerly partners with those residents, neighborhood entities, municipalities or groups that share similar values and goals in order to improve standards of living, build community, and create social/economic opportunities, especially for low- and moderate - income persons, families and disadvantaged groups or areas. NOAH's goals and programs are built on a commitment to equality, fairness, diversity and respect for all people."

Larry Piatelli Academy, also referred to as LPA, is a co-educational private college prep academy focused on developing NCAA collegiate ice hockey and lacrosse student -athletes. LPA is accepting students in grades 7, 8, and 9 for September 2011, and grades 10 through 12 will follow in 2012. LPA is an innovative educational community dedicated in name and philosophy in memory of Larry Piatelli; scholar, educator and athlete. Our focus is to help mold academically and athletically talented students in grades 7 through 12 into strong individuals for our community and for their adult lives. Dedicated faculty and coaches will work with student -athletes and their families to ensure the optimum model in both school and community. Our staff has the energy, knowledge, patience and experience to work side-by-side with students to achieve success in and out of the classroom. LPA is interested in buying the property located at 70 Main Street (former Bradstreet School) from the Town of North Andover, with the objective of rehabilitating the building for use as a school which will enhance the historical, cultural, educational, and social character of the Town. The details of the proposed use of the property located at 70 Main Street are as follows. • Size: 6508 square feet on floor one would be used in 2011. An additional 6508 square feet of space on floor two would be used in 2012 and beyond. • Configuration: On the fust floor there would be a reception/office area, three classrooms, admin offices, a kitchen, cafeteria, locker area, conference room, girls and boys bathrooms, and a student -athlete lounge. The second floor space would primarily be used for additional classrooms. • Type of Use: the building would be used for education. • How would the Town benefit: The Town of North Andover would benefit greatly when LPA open its doors at 70 Main Street. Some of the benefits are; beautification of an old dilapidated building on a highly visible area of Main Street, restoration of a historical school building into a newly renovated prestigious prep school, financial benefit to the Town of North Andover from the sale of the property to LPA, LPA will provide desirable jobs to the residents of North Andover, LPA will be providing a Nutrition Program to the student -athletes whereby an outside vendor will be contracted to provide healthy lunches to LPA student -athletes and staff, LPA will enhance the image of the surrounding Main Street area, LPA student -athletes and their families will spend money on other services offered by businesses in the Town of North Andover, and LPA student -athletes who graduate and go on to NCAA colleges will return to the Town of North Andover to begin their careers and raise their families. • How much traffic is the project likely to generate: For year one, 2011, it is expected that LPA will have a minimum of 22 student -athletes and a maximum of 40 student -athletes in attendance. This would translate into 22 to 40 cars dropping off student -athletes in the morning between the hours of lam — 7:30am, and picking up student -athletes in the afternoon between the hours of 4:30pm — 5pm. In addition there will be approximately 6 staff members who would park their vehicles at the school for the entire day. For the year 2012 and beyond, the maximum number of student -athletes in attendance would be approximately 132 which would translate into 132 cars dropping off and picking up. The number of staff members parking their vehicles at the school would increase to approximately 10. • Overall goals of the project: The overall goals of the project are to find a permanent home for LPA in North Andover. Larry Piatelli Academy will be an exceptional place for learning and exploring new ideas. The students and faculty who will fill its halls, play on its fields, perform on the ice and pursue academic excellence in its classrooms will be extraordinary people. LPA offers the Town of North Andover the opportunity to be a part of something truly revolutionary. Our goal is to prepare our students for college and the world beyond. We want our graduates returning often, remembering the Academy for the important role it played in their lives. Friendships that last a lifetime, teachers who made a difference, perspectives broadened and refined, pride in the Academy and loyalty to our building tradition: these are the hallmarks of a Larry Piatelli education in the Town of North Andover. 2 The expectation at LPA is that students, faculty and staff will enthusiastically devote significant time and energy to the pursuit of learning. Students at LPA will work hard in the classroom as they pursue a rigorous, accredited college preparatory curriculum, one that challenges the mind — and at the same time — develops creativity and intellectual maturity. LPA teachers will provide both a structured and caring atmosphere for learning in and out of the classroom. Classes at LPA are small to allow participation from every student. Teachers will know their student -athletes well and will be able to monitor their progress attentively. The goal of LPA is not only the pursuit of academic excellence in the topic at hand, but the development of the intellectual capacity and a desire to educate oneself in all aspects of life. In attempting to evaluate potential non-profit development projects, answers to the following questions are presented as requested. We understand that the questions and responses are non- binding and are asked simply in an effort to facilitate further discussions and to assist the Town in developing the best possible reuse scenarios. • What is a range of potential price you are willing to pay to obtain fee ownership of the entire property at 70 Main Street?
