McGill backs single family Victory Hill housing plan
Pittsfield Housing Authority executive director Thomas C. Morton reports McGill has not changed his position on Victory Hill. He clarifies that the plan is single family housing not a high density project, and a stop on federal funding was ordered while the new Housing and Urban Redevelopment Act is reviewed. The AFC and Rabbi Salzmann’s committee will meet with a federal official to discuss specifics of the act as plans shift to 30 to 35 homes and prices around 14 000 to 18 000 dollars.
