Residents are encouraged to attend a second community forum as the Town’s Affordable Housing Plan continues to be developed and discussed.  Meetings are scheduled for Tuesday, May 31st.  Two options for participation are planned, with a lunchtime remote meeting via ZOOM scheduled for 12PM, and an in-person meeting scheduled at 7PM at Town Hall, 338 Main Street, 2nd Floor - P. Francis Hicks Room.  Please come and learn about the proposed goals and strategies being considered for the Town’s new Affordable Housing PlanAdd your voice to the discussion…we want your feedback!

Section 12 of Public Act 21-29 of the Connecticut General Statutes requires all municipalities to adopt an affordable housing plan specifying how each intends to increase the number of affordable housing developments in the municipality.  Winchester’s Housing Plan Steering Committee has been meeting monthly since November, 2021.  Please click here for more information.

Come enjoy some pie and learn about the proposed goals and strategies for a new affordable housing plan.  Learn why rents are rising so fast, how homeownership can be more affordable, how older adults can have downsizing options, and how you could help.
