MBTA Communities Multi-Family Housing District Planning Process

Information regarding the MBTA Communities Multi-Family Housing District planning process

West Newbury received a Rural and Small Town Grant from the State and pledged matching local funds to secure professional assistance to lead an iterative community planning process to evaluate options for addressing local housing needs and to meet the requirements of Section 3A through the establishment of a Multi-Family Zoning District. 

On February 21, 2023, the Planning Board recommended the firm of Dodson and Flinker to lead the project. The team from Dodson and Flinker, including both landscape architects and planners, was unanimously recommended for this work.  The Multi-Family District Planning Initiative is expected to begin in March with a kick off meeting that outlines the planning process in detail and sets the stage for the year-long resident-centered project.
