Adam, This had been an ongoing discussion, led by the Planning Board, for the past several years. This web page is quite outdated, but, it can give you an idea of what has been churning. http://www.lincolntown.org/507/South-Lincoln-SLPIC <http://www.lincolntown.org/507/South-Lincoln-SLPIC>
Note that there is little land that is not wetlands, conservation land, Codman Farm, Codman House, or privately owned and already developed. I would urge you contact the Planning Board for notification of meetings where this is being discussed. Meeting are still Zoom and I believe they are recorded. Another key player who has brought Lincoln to 14% “affordable” housing is our Housing Commission. http://www.lincolntown.org/142/Housing-Commission <http://www.lincolntown.org/142/Housing-Commission> They are often looking for members, so perhaps you might offer your name? Finally, there Is the Affordable Housing Trust. https://www.lincolntown.org/DocumentCenter/View/35223/Affordable-Housing-Trust?bidId= <https://www.lincolntown.org/DocumentCenter/View/35223/Affordable-Housing-Trust?bidId=> It is not like Lincoln has been asleep at the wheel!
