Ashland: Voters OK CPA funds for housing trust at Nov. 14 TM
ASHLAND --- At the Nov. 14 town meeting, Ashland voters approved using $500,000 from the Community Preservation Act fund for a trust fund to buy and develop affordable housing. The decision came after a lengthy discussion on whether the fund would expose the town to liability if it went belly-up, and whether the town should be in the housing market at all. This link takes you to a previous story that discusses in detail why Ashland put this on the ballot.
