A forum on affordable housing
| May 6, 2010 | ||
| 7:00 pm | to | 9:00 pm |
Adopted in 1969, Chapter 40B, the Massachusetts Comprehensive Permit Law, allows local Zoning Boards of Appeal or a State Appeals Committee to approve residential developments, whether or not they comply with local zoning, if at least 20 to 25% of their units have long-term affordability restrictions. In November 2010 Massachusetts voters will vote to either repeal (yes vote) or retain (no vote) that law.
U-CHAN (Uniting Citizens for Housing Affordability in Newton) is holding an educational forum on the law at the New Art Center, 61 Washington Park in Newtonville, on May 6th from 7 to 9 pm. It will address the following, through presentations and Q&A:
- Background on 40B and housing in Newton
- Benefits to Newton if Chapter 40B were to be repealed
- Benefits to Newton if 40B were to be retained
For more information, contact U-CHAN at uchan.newton@gmail.com
