Workshop description:
For Towns striving to move the projects in their housing pipeline towards completion, the connection between completing robust community engagement and positive outcomes is clear. But housing takes a long time, and it’s important to continue to combat misinformation, demonstrate how community feedback is shaping decisions, and bring the community along from visioning to move-in day and beyond. This workshop will explore strategies for effective communications and inclusive messaging for complex projects.
Audience:
This course is open to Town board and committee members and Town staff who are directly involved in housing, including (but not limited to):
Finance Committee, Community Preservation Committee, Zoning Board of Appeals, Planning Board, Select Board, Board of Health, Conservation Commissions, members of Affordable Housing Trusts, Housing Committee, all housing staff, planners and community development staff.
We welcome newly appointed or elected municipal officials, resident housing advocates and future town leaders.
