<br>
We thought Medford was one of only 2 in the state. Our ordinance dates from 1989 and we’re currently looking to hire a consultant to update our rates.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks everyone!<o:p></o:p></p>
