‘Fully support’ Newbury Court expansion at June Town Meeting

Now that I am a resident at Newbury Court, I appreciate its many contributions to the Acton community.

I write to support the zoning requests by Newbury Court for their newly acquired property across ORNAC.

I have lived in Acton for 55 years, and now that I am a resident at Newbury Court, I appreciate its many contributions to the Acton community.

First, it houses 2% of Acton’s population, enabling older residents to remain in their town.

Second, it employs about 500 persons, making it a meaningful employer in Acton.

Third, it pays more than $900,000 in taxes to Acton annually.

Fourth, Newbury Court is not for profit and totally service-focused, having evolved from its New England Deaconess Association roots over more than a century.

I hope our citizens will fully support our request at the June Town Meeting.
