Select Board Declines Right of First Refusal on Affordable Housing Unit
The Select Board reconsidered and voted not to exercise their right of first refusal on 902 Main Street, Unit 35. This unit was previously designated as affordable housing. The decision came after clarification that the property would likely remain affordable even if the town did not purchase it, and concerns were raised about the town's preparedness to manage such a property as its first affordable housing endeavor. The current owner inherited the unit and faces financial hardship.
