<div class="">Bedford would be interested in hearing from any towns that have amended their zoning to make it easier to build 2-family houses in traditionally (or most recently) single family districts. This might mean allowing them where they've been prohibited or
reducing the restrictions/ conditions that apply. The only one I'm aware of is Concord.<span class=""></span><span class=""></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" class="">Also we're interested in examples of towns that have reverted to earlier denser zoning for residential areas that have mainly non-conforming lots.<span class=""></span></div>
