New Housing Policy

Why do I like it?

  1. It opens the process up?  What was the current process?  Who knows!!  Honestly I have no idea ow money was decided to be given up.  That is exactly why we need to open up the process.
  2. Opens monies to all developers not just CDC's  or those with "connections".
  3. An emphasis is placed on market rate or mised used development.  Projects, like May Street/City Builders/ Piedmont/Hadley, that are either 100% affordable hurt the City of Worcester.
  4. Advisory committee that represents diverse interests.
  5. New Hosuing market study
The real question is "what is their not to like?"
