Affordable Housing Repairs vs. Duplex Redevelopment
Citizens petitioned to repair existing single-family affordable homes rather than follow the Housing Authority plan to demolish for duplexes, splitting opinions on immediate needs versus density goals.
Article 39 proposed free-cash funding to rehabilitate four SHA-owned single-family homes in Pine Lakes rather than redeveloping the sites. The Finance Committee, Select Board, and SHA opposed it as a short-term fix bypassing capital planning; Town Meeting passed it by majority (non-binding).
Non-binding Town Meeting outcome; SHA redevelopment planning continues.
