[Massplanners] Linkage Fee Programs in Massachusetts

[Victor Panak]

Hi All,
I am trying to do some research on existing linkage fee programs in Massachusetts and am hoping to generate a list of communities that have adopted such requirements. For the purpose of this question, a linkage fee would be set forth in a by-law/ordinance and require non-residential developments to pay a fee that gets collected into a trust and used for affordable housing (and potentially other uses) - kind of like inclusionary zoning but for non-residential uses. If your community has a linkage program or you know of a community with a linkage program, please let me know. My list already includes Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Watertown, Everett, Medford, Gloucester, and Barnstable. Though I'm still trying to confirm Medford and Gloucester...
Thanks everyone!
