Lara Chulack: Ashland residents should voice concerns over 76-unit build

Ashland is one of the poorest towns in New Hampshire and already has a disproportionate number of low-income housing units compared to surrounding towns. And unlike other Grafton County towns — Hanover, Lebanon, Plymouth or Littleton — Ashland has no commercial tax base to buffer these costs.
