Elderly and Disabled Taxation Fund Committee June 4, 2026

The Elderly and Disabled Taxation Fund Committee of Greenfield Community Television (GCTV) convened on June 4, 2026, primarily to discuss fundraising efforts and potential legislative changes to support the fund. Committee members reviewed outreach to various local and national businesses for donations, noting limited responses and emphasizing the need for increased fundraising. They also discussed a proposed amendment to allow Community Preservation Act (CPA) funds to augment the elderly and disabled tax fund, which would require legislative action by the city council and state delegation. The committee voted to pursue this legislative request through the appropriate city council channels. Additionally, ongoing discussions about repayment agreements and unclaimed excess home equity funds were noted as progressing through city council committees. The meeting concluded with plans for future fundraising updates and outreach efforts, as well as tabling a broader discussion on community coordination for a later date.
