On January 5, 2023, the Falmouth Zoning Board of Appeals approved for Falmouth Housing Trust to construct four (4) brand new affordable workforce homes on Sam Turner Road. The project will be incorporated into the existing Esker Place subdivision, which was built in the 1990s. Development of the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.
