The City Council has taken definitive steps toward expanding affordable housing options, aligning with recent state mandates aimed at addressing the region’s growing housing crisis. Key strategies include zoning reforms to encourage mixed-use developments and the streamlining of permit processes to reduce bureaucratic delays. By collaborating closely with local developers and community organizations, the city is committed to creating inclusive neighborhoods that provide a range of housing opportunities for diverse income levels.

Progress highlights include:

  • Rezoning 15 acres to support multi-family residences and accessory dwelling units (ADUs)
  • Introducing incentives for affordable housing projects, such as density bonuses and reduced parking requirements
  • Launching a community outreach campaign to incorporate resident feedback and increase transparency
