Lara Chulack: Ashland residents should voice concerns over 76-unit build
I am writing as a concerned taxpayer to urge residents and town boards to closely scrutinize the proposed Village at Mill Pond housing development in Ashland. While our region undoubtedly needs residential solutions, a project of this scale brings long-term, hidden infrastructure and financial costs that our small town is simply not equipped to absorb. 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.
