As we learned at a recent Board of Selectmen meeting, Woodland Springs, an affordable housing complex for the disabled and senior citizens, rarely has an opening. However, as Phase II of construction comes to completion, new units will be available. With that in mind, Woodland Springs is holding an Open House on June 27 from 4 to 7 p.m.
The event is at Woodland Springs Apartments, 55 Woodland Springs Drive. In addition to displaying select units, the Silver Sands Pizza Truck will be on-site for everyone to enjoy.
