Public Hearing with Town Plan and Zoning Commission – April 5, 2022

The Town Plan and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on April 5, 2022 to provide a brief overview of the drafted 5-Year Affordable Housing Plan, as well as an opportunity for public comment. The drafted Plan includes recommendations to raise awareness and improve management of housing issues; increase the number of subsidized housing units; increase deed-restricted affordable units, particularly rental units; and increase other housing options in Town. The Affordable Housing Steering Committee has been working on this Plan since the spring of 2021, and has reviewed current demographic, economic, and housing data; conducted a community survey; and held several open meetings to discuss the recommended strategies. The Committee’s work has been supported by a consultant engaged through a grant from the Connecticut Department of Housing.

The Town Plan and Zoning Commission will review the Plan and consider public feedback prior to making a recommendation to the Town Council, who will ultimately adopt the Plan. Once adopted, the 5-year Plan will be implemented by Town staff with oversight from several agencies, including the Town Council, Town Plan and Zoning Commission, and Glastonbury Housing Authority Board of Directors.
