Town Seeks Feedback on Housing Production Plan to Guide Future Affordable Housing Development

As part of this effort, the Town in conjunction with NMCOG developed a survey on the needs, goals and future for housing in Tewksbury. The survey should take less than five minutes to complete and is available at www.nmcog.org/tewksburysurvey. The survey will be available through January 9, 2023.

The development of housing that is accessible and affordable to community members with a range of incomes, household characteristics, and demographic qualities is critical to successful and sustainable community planning. Accordingly, the Town of Tewksbury aspires to continue its strong record of proactively planning for housing options. The Town of Tewksbury Housing Production Plan for 2022-2026 aims to advance that goal, complimenting and building upon the Tewksbury Master Plan 2016. It serves as a framework for considering Comprehensive Permit projects, zoning changes, Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF) expenditures, Community Preservation Act (CPA) fund expenditures, and other actions the Town and its partners can undertake to increase the supply of affordable housing.

The project is supported by a NMCOG District Local Technical Assistance grant funded by the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). 

For questions about this project, or if you need a paper copy of the survey, please contact Alexandra Lowder, Community/Economic Development Planner, at [email protected] or (978) 640-4370 Ext. 248.
