[Massplanners] Reminder MBTA Communities: Important deadlines

[Paige]

Good afternoon fellow planners,

In preparation for presenting to our Select Board re MBTA
communities/housing choice requirement in advance of the May 2nd deadline,
have any suburban towns (bonus if adjacent community) prepared a slide deck
providing an overview?  I'm about to start preparing for my presentation to
the BOS and figured I'd check here before possibly recreating a wheel.

Thank you in advance.
