Submitted by the Community Preservation Committee Explanation: The goal of this project is to update the Town’s Housing Production Plan (HPP) in consideration of the demographic shifts over the past 10 years, changes in population, and added housing stock since 2010. This includes visioning work associated to the update of the Local Comprehensive Plan (LCP) that has not been modified since 1998. The HPP provides framework to meet the 10% mandate of housing eligible for inclusion on the State’s Subsidized Housing Inventory. An approved Plan also leverages state grant funds. The total cost of this project is $50,000. Grant funds would be sought as an offset. Unused funding would be returned to the coffers of the CPA. The update of the Plan is expected to begin in the summer of 2022 with completion in approximately 6 months thereafter.
