Town plans public meeting on housing plan

The town of Barnstable plans a public forum this week on its new housing plan. The current plan expires next year.

This plan will consider best practices for promoting diverse housing options that align with the community’s vision and goals. Communities with a wide variety of housing types and programs are stronger, more diverse places to live with higher quality of life for residents. 

The town has engaged consultants JM Goldson to update the HPP. 

The hybrid public forum is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 30. This forum will be hosted in person at Barnstable Town Hall, 367 Main Street, Hyannis, as well as virtually through a Zoom webinar.
