[Massplanners] [**EXT**] Re: Reminder MBTA Communities: Important deadlines

[Eric Salerno]

Hi Paige,

At the very bottom of the MBTA Communities webpage
<https://www.mass.gov/info-details/multi-family-zoning-requirement-for-mbta-communities>
that
Chris sent in her email, there's a summary slidedeck
<https://www.mass.gov/doc/mbta-communities-summary-deck-feb-2022/download>
that the EOHED has been using to meet with groups and regional orgs
that makes a good starting point.
