This session dives into Chapter 40R, a Massachusetts state law that provides financial incentives to cities and towns for Smart Growth and Starter Home Zoning. Learn about the history behind the legislation, why we need smart growth in Massachusetts, and how you - whether you're a policymaker or a resident concerned about our housing crisis - can help your own community take advantage of this program.
