The neighborhood of Oak and Elm Streets is being considered for infrastructure related improvements through the Community Development Block Grant program from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities.
The Town is working with the Central MA Regional Planning Commission to collect household income information to determine funding eligibility in accordance with the program regulations. There is no identifying information sought as part of the survey, without which the Town will not be eligible to receive funding.
A letter and survey have been mailed to the residents of Oak and Elm Streets on behalf of the Town. Please take the time to complete and return the survey so we are eligible for this important grant.
