Easton: AvalonBay's 40B puts town over 10%
EASTON --- With the issuance of building permits for AvalonBay's 290-unit apartment development, 10 percent of Easton's housing is now considered affordable. In a column in the Easton Journal, Selectman David Colton wrote, "Our compliance puts Easton in a small group of about 15 percent of municipalities statewide who have met the statutory requirements of Chapter 40B. Beyond simply complying with the law, this collaborative project will ultimately provide more housing options for Easton residents, additional tax revenue for the Town and new customers for local businesses."
