Town of Tewksbury News - Residents Invited to Provide Input at Affordable Housing Workshop

From: Town Of Tewksbury
October 29, 2022

Please join the Town of Tewksbury at the Tewksbury Public Library, 300 Chandler Street, for the first Affordable Housing Workshop to share initial findings and gather input for the Town of Tewksbury Housing Production Plan for 2022-26. The Town is working with the Northern Middlesex Council of Governments (NMCOG) to update its Housing Production Plan, a plan that guides the Town’s decisions on how to support affordable housing, what kinds of housing development or redevelopment the Town hopes to create, and how the Town and its partners can work toward making sure all kinds of families and people can afford a home that meets their needs.

 At the workshop, the NMCOG housing planning team will present key town housing data, findings, and trends. Participants will then break into small groups to discuss the findings, help develop housing goals, and create a vision for equitable, affordable housing in Tewksbury.

The Town of Tewksbury Housing Production Plan for 2022-2026 aims to compliment and build upon the Tewksbury Master Plan 2016. It serves as a framework for considering Comprehensive Permit projects, zoning changes, Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF) expenditures, Community Preservation Act (CPA) fund expenditures, and other actions the Town and its partners can undertake to increase the supply of affordable housing.

The project is supported by a NMCOG District Local Technical Assistance grant funded by the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD).

Registration is not required.

Date and Time: Wednesday, November 9, 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

Location: Tewksbury Public Library, 300 Chandler Street
