To the editor:
As the year comes to a close, the ballot question committee Yes for Marblehead created for the July special election must close out the year and dissolve as an organization as required by law. One option for the ballot question committee is donating the remainder of its funds to a nonprofit organization.
I wanted to let you know that the ballot question committee has signed a check worth $5,809.04 for the Marblehead Affordable Housing Trust fund, with a memo to the Select Board to direct the check to the Affordable Housing Trust and accept it as trustees of the fund. The check and memo were left with the clerk, and the Select Board will receive it on Monday.
The donation is intended to support the fund's ongoing efforts to benefit low- and moderate-income households within our community, a mission that the Marblehead Housing Coalition shares and continues to strive for.
Although the Ballot Question Committee Yes for Marblehead was formed to campaign to pass a 3A-compliant zoning plan, the Marblehead Housing Coalition will continue to advocate and organize for housing policy that invigorates our town's future, while honoring our community and its past.
A vibrant future exists for Marblehead, and we hope that this donation to the Marblehead Affordable Housing Trust fund will aid in that pursuit.
Thank you very much.
