The funding will support various initiatives aimed at bettering the community, such as affordable housing through a land trust, playground construction, and the enhancement of sports fields. Specifically, $348,000 will finance a three-home affordable housing pilot project in partnership with Upper Valley MEND’s SHARE Community Land Trust.
