HOUSING COMMITTEE
The Town of Sunderland is establishing a Housing Committee - the charge of the committee is to be in line with the Town's Housing Plan. The Committee will be comprised of one member of the Board of Selectmen, one member of the Planning Board and 3 members at-large from the community.
