The approved housing plan updates Mahwah’s approach to meeting its affordable-housing obligations and identifies opportunities for redevelopment; the estimated housing credits do not themselves require construction. The board also supported updates to development-fee and affordable-housing rules, a mixed-use overlay for Block 87 and the Franklin Turnpike Area, and related redevelopment-plan changes. No members of the public spoke during the hearings.
