The lottery selection will be held at Town Hall in room 114 on Sept. 5 at 5 p.m.

Harborfields Estates is on Pulaski Road. The available house is priced at $221,600 with real estate taxes estimated to be $6,000 annually and estimated HOA fees of approximately $460 annually, billed semiannually, town officials said. The house is expected to be move-in ready by the end of the year.
