Conservation Commission and Planning Board Joint Site Walk

Amesbury Housing Authority presented detailed capital and accessibility needs across its properties — including major window replacement at Heritage Towers (~$1M), exterior envelope work at Macy Terrace (four buildings ~$700k; 12 more buildings remain), a proposed fenced playground at Macy (~$70k), ADA conversion opportunities, and ongoing renovations of 30 Pow Wow Villa units. The presentation outlined funding sources (rents, state formula and capital funds, bond/grant awards), long waiting lists for public housing, and limits on what state/federal funds will cover.
