Equitable Arlington, a group of town residents who agree about the importance of equitable housing and land-use policies, has a new website. See it at equitable-arlington.org.
Jennifer Susse, a former School Committee member and among those involved calls the effort the “product of many months of meetings and volunteer labor.”
