ASHLAND A squabble over three for-profit agencies moving into The Neighborhood came to a head Wednesday when the City of Ashland enforced a code violation.
However, the issues run deeper and call into question the use of federal dollars used in the city’s Community Development Block Grant program, which sees federal dollars released through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The executive director of The Neighborhood, Todd Young, tendered his resignation May 19 effective June 30, according to Neighborhood Board member Dr. Desmond Barrett, executive director of Ashland Community Kitchen. Young, according to Barrett, signed contracts with three for-profit entities to move into the Neighborhood, all without approval from the 23-member board.
