Lauren Lind described the feedback she had on the Housing Production
Plan provided by Alexis Smith from MAPC. The initial discussion was around
clerical edits found by both Laruen and members of the team. The committee
then discussed the first sections and gave feedback around some of the growth
assumptions as well as the CPC Funds mentioned. Lauren also provided next
steps.
Rob asked the committee to go through the Strategies and Additional
Strategies that are near the end of the HPP and would be the basis for the next
steps. The committee provided Laruen with feedback to give Alexis. We felt
that the Additional Strategies should be prioritized and had some thoughts of
themes that could be moved into the Strategies section. The committee also felt
an executive summary would be beneficial for discussion with other committees,
the Selectmen and the public.
Rob expressed a desire to meet with the Affordable Housing Trust. The
completion of the HPP should provide a good opportunity to discuss next steps
with the Trust.
Lauren gave an update on the construction of residential units near Stop
and Shop.
Next meeting is February 11, place TBD. Peter motioned at 9:00p to
adjourn, seconded by Beth and vote was unanimous.
