The Town of Nahant, the Nahant HPP Advisory Committee, and MAPC (Metropolitan Area Planning Council) are inviting the Nahant community to attend its second public forum on affordable housing at Town Hall on Thursday, June 15, 2023 from 7:00  – 9:00 p.m. The HPP Advisory Committee will present recommended policies and programs that aim to lower housing costs and introduce new housing options. 

In March, a public forum was held to share data from a housing needs assessment and gather input from residents on their vision for housing growth; the public input was used to establish housing plan goals. This next public meeting will also look to further the work of the committee introduce a draft strategies and development opportunities that work to advance these goals. 

This event will also support the Town’s efforts to meet the requirements of a new state law, M.G.L Ch. 40A, Section 3A, that requires Nahant to establish zoning that promotes multifamily development. More information about the housing plan and 3A can be found on the project website. https://mapc.ma/NahantHPP . We need to hear from you to pursue a path for housing that’s right for Nahant. Please join us at Town Hall on Thursday, June 15.
