The Poor St. Clare Sisters were forced to vacate their convent on 460 River Road, Andover due to the construction of the AvalonBay housing complex.
In 1997 the Town of Andover entered into an agreement with Lowell and Tewksbury to provide water and sewerage to that section of River Road. In an attempt to block the construction of AvalonBay area residents sponsored and article on the 2003 warrant to rescind the agreement. This would leave the Nuns without water and sewerage, so Nuns sued the town.
The construction of AvalonBay did proceed afterall the Nuns were forced from their convent.
