Good evening,
A number of people have contacted the HCAWG, Planning Board, and Select Board
with questions about the Housing Choice Act in general and specifics of the
options in particular. Here is a list of questions from several people. Before
addressing them, a reminder of the principles the HCAWG has used throughout
this effort:
The Town’s Vision Statement: “Fostering economic, racial, ethnic, and age
diversity among its citizenry through its educational, housing and other public
policy.”
Rezone near public transportation and town amenities
Codify work Lincoln has done to develop multi-family housing over the decades.
Lay the groundwork for housing options to meet the needs of young adults,
families, our local workforce, and those ready to downsize.
Support and maintain our small commercial center.
Promote decarbonization and climate change adaptation by rezoning near
transportation and amenities.
Proactively tailor zoning to fit Lincoln’s unique character.
Keep Lincoln eligible for numerous housing, infrastructure, transportation, and
sustainability related grants that will help us achieve town goals while
mitigating the impact on property taxes.
