Newton for Everyone: Can New Development Help School Budgets in Cities Like Newton?
Newton for Everyone is hosting the following event on Thursday, May 30 at 7pm, at Congregation Dorshei Tzedek/Second Church, 60 Highland Street, West Newton.
Can new development help school budgets in cities like Newton?
This talk, featuring presenters Elise Rapoza (MassINC) and Luc Shuster (Boston Indicators), will explore both the practical implications and research on the potential for new development, particularly an expanded housing supply, to bolster the tax base and, consequently, school funding.
