STOUGHTON — Select Board approves Housing Production Plan and appoints library trustee and committee members. The Board unanimously adopted the Housing Production Plan with authorization for staff edits, while member Scott Carrara raised concerns about converting commercial or industrial land to housing on Buckley Road, citing tax revenue impact. Town Manager Thomas Calter noted the plan provides multiple options and maintains the required 10 percent affordable housing threshold to avoid state Chapter 40B development.
Patricia Martin was appointed Library Trustee, and Lori Jacques and Fred Minsko were appointed to the 300th Anniversary Committee in unanimous votes. The Board reaffirmed the Stoughton Cultural Council, which secured $20,000 in state grant funding for cultural events last year.
