III. SUSAN WILLIAMS-GIFFORD - CHAPTER 40B UPDATE
Present before the BOS: Susan Williams-Gifford, State Representative
Ms. Williams Gifford stated the 40B bill that came out didn’t include mobile homes, but she hopes the bill will be amended on the floor, in which case a negotiation will be held to include a percentage of mobile homes (approx. 50%) to be included. She stated there is bi-partisan support for this measure. She discussed the positions of staunch supporters of 40B at the State House.
Discussion ensued re: a need for apartments & elderly housing in Town.
Selectman Fernandes-Abbott discussed how the Town is included in Boston’s formula for percentage guidelines for affordable housing. She asked Ms. Williams-Gifford to look into this issue to see if it can be changed. Ms. Williams-Gifford stated she has asked this question many times & will work on this issue. Selectman Fernandes-Abbott added that the Town of Marion is tied into New Bedford, not Boston.
