The meeting aligned participants around housing challenges, including complicated permitting, limited options for town employees, and households that earn too much for subsidized housing but cannot afford market-rate homes. Ideas included centralized permitting information, zoning and density changes, updating the covenant housing program, analyzing infill opportunities, and protecting the aquifer. A follow-up meeting was suggested after the Select Board’s strategic planning session and the November special town meeting.
