Acushnet Housing Authority Approves $136,063 for 2026 Capital Plan
- Meeting Overview:
The Acushnet Housing Authority meeting on June 17, 2026, focused on financial and project developments, including the approval of an additional $136,063.16 for the 2026 capital plan and updates on ongoing infrastructure projects at Terrace Gardens.
The meeting’s central topic was the board’s approval of amendment number 11, which allocates an additional $136,063.16 to the 2026 capital plan. This sum will contribute to the housing authority’s ongoing capital improvements, with further details expected in the July meeting. The amendment was passed as part of a broader discussion on financial assistance, although there was some initial confusion over the documentation received.
During the director’s report, updates were provided on the electrical project at Terrace Gardens, which has resumed following a necessary change order. The project experienced delays due to adjustments needed for the electrical box, but work is now back on track with support from the Department of Housing. Additionally, planning for a back porch project is underway, with scheduling considerations to avoid safety hazards during simultaneous renovations.
Furthermore, the board reviewed and approved several annual plans, including the affirmative action goal plan, language access plan, and fair housing plan.
