Holden Democratic Town Committee

Holden is 1 of 9 towns being sued by @massago.bsky.social for noncompliance w/ the MBTA Communities law. We are a town of 22,400 acres & the state is asking us to rezone just 50 for multi-family housing. Come vote at Special Town Meeting on Feb. 23, vote YES to the new plan & get us off that list!

The picture is text that says the following: "Why should Holdenites vote to approve the Board of Selectmen’s MBTA Communities plan? LOCAL CONTROL: This rezoning plan was drafted by citizens of Holden who know and love the town and who sought to minimize potential impacts on schools and traffic. STATE LAW: MBTACA is a state law that will go into effect no matter how we vote; let’s go with the plan made by Holdenites and not a court-appointed outsider. NO WASTING TAXPAYER MONEY: The town could lose $100Ks in legal fees if we don’t comply AND lose out on big state grants that we desperately need for our budget!

People of Holden, Mass! Please come to the Special Town Meeting on Monday, 2/23 at 7pm at the WRHS Auditorium! And please vote for the rezoning plan for the MBTA Communities Act. Why do you ask? Read below.
