Her Excellency, Governor Kelly A. Ayotte

State House

Concord, New Hampshire 03301

Requested Action

Authorize the Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA), under the Community Development Block

Grant (CDBG) program, to award a grant to the Town of Epping (VC#177517) 157 Main Street, Epping, New

Hampshire 03042, in the amount of $499,500 on behalf of the Evans Cooperative, Inc. to support an electrical

infrastructure upgrades project located at 84 Coffin Road, Epping, New Hampshire, effective upon Governor and

Council approval through December 31, 2027. 100% federal funds.

Explanation

The Town of Epping is requesting $499,500 on behalf of Evans Cooperative, Inc. to support the electrical

infrastructure upgrades project to replace the failing electrical system throughout the manufactured housing

community which includes 19 homes (24 residents) and is located in Epping, New Hampshire. 19 of the 24

beneficiaries (79%) are low and moderate income (LMI) and this project will ensure the continued safety and well-

being of the residents and will preserve the affordability of this vital housing resource for the community for at least

20 years.

The residents of Evans Cooperative manufactured housing community formed a cooperative and purchased the

park in 2021. The previous owner had neglected upkeep and maintenance of the essential park infrastructure. The

existing elextrical system is out of compliance with electrical codes and is a safety hazard. CDBG funds will be

used exclusively for the public-serving portion of the project—replacement of the poles, cables, and main

distribution infrastructure. The improvements will ensure that all households within the cooperative have access to

safe, reliable electricity. The project also includes the installation of LED lighting to enhance energy efficiency

within the community The cooperative will fund the cost of replacing individual electrical panels in ten homes that

currently have outdated 60-amp panels, upgrading them to modern 100-amp systems so that the full project can be

completed safely. The project will ensure code compliance, protect health and safety, and help maintain reliable

power for all homes within the park. Without CDBG assistance, the cooperative cannot afford the full cost of the

project.

This Agreement allocates a portion of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds provided to New

Hampshire by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). CDFA is administering this

program as provided by RSA 162-L. The funds for this contract are from the Community Development Block

Grant Fund, which is intended to help municipalities solve development problems.

CDFA has determined that the vendor is in good standing with the Secretary of State's Office, has secured the

required levels of insurance, and has provided evidence of authority to execute and be bound by the contract.

Project Summary

The Town of Epping is requesting Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to be

subgranted to Evans Cooperative, a 19-unit (24 total residents) resident-owned manufactured housing

community located at 84 Coffin Road in Epping, New Hampshire. The cooperative seeks funding to

replace the failing electrical infrastructure throughout the park. The existing poles and cables, which are

more than 50 years old, are unstable and no longer meet electrical code standards. This project will

ensure the continued safety and well-being of the residents, 79% of whom qualify as low- and

moderate-income, and will preserve the affordability of this vital housing resource for the community.

The electrical infrastructure at Evans Cooperative has reached the end of its useful life. The utility poles

are no longer stable, and the overhead lines are outdated and unsafe. The system presents potential

fire and safety hazards to residents and visitors. The cooperative board has received informal

advisement that the existing system is out of compliance with electrical codes, and numerous signs of

deterioration—such as leaning poles and worn cables—underscore the urgency of replacement.

Without CDBG assistance, the cooperative cannot afford the full cost of the project. The project will

ensure code compliance, protect health and safety, and help maintain reliable power for all homes

within the park.

The project involves replacing all aging electrical poles and overhead lines throughout the park, along

with new service lines to each of the homes. The cooperative will fund the cost of replacing individual

electrical panels in ten homes that currently have outdated 60-amp panels, upgrading them to modern

100-amp systems so that the full project can be completed safely. CDBG funds will be used exclusively

for the public-serving portion of the project—replacement of the poles, cables, and main distribution

infrastructure. The improvements will ensure that all households within the cooperative have access to

safe, reliable electricity, reduce the risk of electrical fires, and improve long-term energy reliability. The

project also includes the installation of LED lighting to enhance energy efficiency within the community.

The total cost of the electrical infrastructure replacement is estimated to be $499,500 and fully covered

by CDBG funding, with additional cooperative contributions to fund replacement of individual home

electrical panels. The CDBG request is essential to making the work financially feasible. Evans

Cooperative has demonstrated strong commitment by allocating its own funds to replace ten individual

home electrical panels, a prerequisite for completing the larger system upgrade. The cooperative has

previously secured and successfully managed state funding for major infrastructure projects, including

a water system upgrade completed in 2024 with support from the NH Department of Environmental

Services. A 20-year performance lien will be placed on the property to ensure the long-term benefit and

continued affordability of the housing.
