Task Force hears resident concern about Whispering Pines; chair notes no rent control in Avon
Summary
A resident email about Whispering Pines, a USDA-funded senior housing development, raised rent-control concerns; Chair Christine Graesser relayed the message and noted the town has no rent control while urging discussion of senior housing needs.
Chair Christine Graesser said she had forwarded an email from an Avon resident about Whispering Pines, a senior/adult housing development funded by a USDA grant in 2009, and summarized the correspondent’s concern about rent control. Graesser told the Task Force, "there is no rent control but there is a real need."
Hiram Peck said the topic is important but cautioned that it may be difficult to get people to discuss sensitive senior-housing issues publicly. The Task Force did not take formal action on Whispering Pines during the April 10 meeting; members agreed the subject merits further consideration as part of broader outreach and forum planning.
