Housing Production Plan

Housing Production Plan

A Housing Production Plan helps municipalities better understand local housing need and demand, development constraints and opportunities, and their future for affordable housing and sometime market-rate housing. Housing Production Plans must be updated every 5 years. 

The Town is working with the Merrimack Valley Planning Commission (MVPC) to update its Housing Production Plan. This process involves multiple meetings with stakeholders and municipal employees, as well as community information sessions and, eventually, surveys.  

Once the HPP is finalized, the Town will have a more comprehensive view of the housing needs of the Town so that moving forward Town Employees and Boards are able to work towards the needs of the community.  

Funding

Funding for this project was received in October 2022 through the EEA Planning Assistance Grant, EOHLC One Stop Grant, District Local Technical Assistance, and a local match.

Meetings/Outreach

The Merrimack Valley Planning Commission held a Housing Forum on December 19th. Next steps will include an online survey. If you would like to reach out to speak about the Housing Production Plan, please contact the Town Planner
