Housing for aged site proposed on Meadow Lane
Great Barrington residents weigh a Housing Administration plan to place a housing for the aged complex on Meadow Lane near the Turner property. State approval is tentatively granted but locals fear lowered property values and disrupted single residence zoning. Housing officials urge residents to view project slides before judging, noting some towns see value increases.
