This week, the first Housing Lynn public forum was held. Housing Lynn is an initiative, in partnership with the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC), to develop a Housing Production Plan to guide the future development of the city. The initiative will stretch through most of 2020 and centers around a community-driven process to understand Lynn’s housing needs.
This event comes on the heels of the Lynn City Summit held in November, where Housing was also a major topic.
During the conversation community leaders and community members spoke to what they saw as the housing crisis in Lynn. Rising rents, the shortage of inventory, and luxury development were among the discussion topics.
Two more public forums will be held in the Spring and the Fall. For more information and quotes from the event click here.
