Planner reports meetings with housing nonprofits and CROG about town‑owned site possibilities
Summary
Town planner reported meetings with two housing nonprofits and CROG to explore possible housing development options for town‑owned parcels behind the town campus. Conversations are conceptual and carry no commitments; consultants will sketch feasibility ideas.
The town planner told the commission that two nonprofit housing organizations and the Capital Region Council of Governments have reached out to discuss potential housing development and to meet with town officials. He said the outreach focuses on conceptual reviews, including a town‑owned parcel behind the town campus that could be sketched as a modest multifamily or mixed‑use site, but he emphasized there are no binding obligations at this stage.
Planner noted prior work identifying town parcels and that CROG and a housing consultant will look at conceptual feasibility; developers interested in Lindholm Corner have also engaged staff and are refining proposals. The planner said staff will review proposals and advise developers but that the town will not take the lead on proposing zoning changes for private proposals.
