The remaining 15 homes will be offered for open market sale.
Contractor EQUANS is building two and three-bedroom houses and two-bedroom bungalows, three four-bedroom and one five-bedroom home.
A drop-in holding the drop-in event in Sedbergh People’s Hall in Howgill Lane on Wednesday June 28 between 3pm and 7pm.
While no properties will be allocated at the event, the association said, it will allow people to view the different house types, with a view to then registering their interest when the homes are allocated.
Helen Fielding, director development and investment for Broadacres, said: “We are on track to complete the first phase of homes later in the year, with completion of the entire scheme by spring 2024.
“The majority of homes will be offered to local people as part of our strategy to ensure rural communities like Sedbergh remain sustainable for future generations.
“We are therefore looking forward to welcoming people to our community information day, so they can find out more about the scheme and ask questions of our staff who will be in attendance.”
The new homes will be heated using renewable energy, via air source heat pumps.
