Proposed apartments on Ayer Road will cost Harvard taxpayers greatly

by Jack Spero  ·   Friday, April 4, 2025

I read in awe in last week’s Press that the taxpayers of Massachusetts (grant monies) are bringing water and sewer for the supposed builder of 220 apartment units on Ayer Road.

Who is going to supervise this project with our DPW currently in disarray? What happens if the granted funds cannot pay for the project as most projects do not come within budget? Guess who? The taxpayers of Harvard.

This whole project will cost the Harvard taxpayers greatly by increasing fire, police, ambulance , school, and DPW costs. Not to mention traffic. Let’s take another look at subsidizing developers.
