The Jackson Town Council voted 4-1 on April 6 to contribute $5 million toward the first $10 million commitment for affordable housing. Councilmember Devon Viehman moved the motion, seconded by Jonathan Schechter; Mayor Arne Jorgensen called the vote, which showed Mayor Jorgensen, Viehman, Schechter and Kevin Regan in favor and Alyson Spery opposed.

The motion recorded in the transcript states that the Town would "contribute $5 million toward the first $10 million commitment." Council members framed the action as the Town’s partial allocation toward a larger multi-jurisdictional housing funding package. The Town vote followed the County’s conditional approval of a $4.25 million contribution earlier in the meeting.
