<p class="MsoNormal">This email is a reminder for the 175 MBTA Communities as identified in the new Section 3A in MGL c. 40A. You can learn more about the MBTA Communities legislation and draft guidelines at:
<a href="https://www.mass.gov/info-details/multi-family-zoning-requirement-for-mbta-communities">
https://www.mass.gov/info-details/multi-family-zoning-requirement-for-mbta-communities</a>.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The deadline for MBTA Communities to submit a Community Information Form is less than one month away:
<b>Monday May 2, 2022 at 5:00 p.m</b>. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The MBTA Community Information Form asks for basic information about municipal plans to comply with the legislation, and requires an attestation that a briefing of the council or select board took place. Completing the form will keep an
MBTA Community compliant for the next round of funding from the Housing Choice Initiative, the Local Capital Projects Fund, and the MassWorks Infrastructure Program.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
