I will work with the town, the Friends of the Goodnow Library and the Goodnow Library Foundation to maintain our excellent library.

Second, trustees need to collaborate with the Committee, library staff, and Mass. library’s Historical Archives state archivist to implement an the historical historical archives collection’s policy.

Sudbury Housing Authority (Five-year term, vote for one) Steven Swanger Address: Bent Brook Road Occupation: Retired public housing administrator Giving priority to Sudbury residents, the Sudbury Housing Authority provides affordable rental housing to seniors and small families (average is .7 children/family). The supply, especially for families, does not begin to meet the need, even as the town approaches the statutory 10% affordability requirement. Families wait years for SHA housing. When the wait list was opened last fall, the SHA received well over 500 applications . . . and the turnover of family units is about 1/year. My priorities will be maintenance of existing stock and the development, in collaboration with the Town, of additional affordable rental housing for families.
