What was decided

The committee reviewed a Community Preservation Act request of $300,000 to redevelop the former Brightwood Elementary School into affordable senior housing, and the Community Preservation Committee recommended $100,000. Members expressed different views on disclosure, recusal, and conflict-of-interest rules, and Councilor Justin Hurst requested written guidance from the State Ethics Commission. No vote was taken, and the committee plans to await that guidance before further consideration.
