As a village trustee, Boissonnault said that trustees were trying to preserve Garden Street School during a discussion of a possible affordable-housing zoning change.

The article describes discussion of a proposed zoning change that could allow affordable-housing development at the former Garden Street School property. Trustee Tom Boissonnault said the board was committed to working with the public regarding the site, then said: “Garden Street is a beloved landmark that we as trustees are trying to preserve,” he said. “My kids went to that school and it would break my heart if anything happened to that school… This was not a fast decision. This was not a ‘we’re just going with it.’” The article reports that no vote was taken on the zoning change.
