Housing is a hot topic everywhere and Newton is no exception. The Newton Planning Board is seeking input via this survey on how housing options can be integrated into Newton in a way that reflects the existing fabric of the community. The survey is a first step in engaging the town in a conversation about housing priorities and what strategies should be taken to accommodate those needs.
In February 2023, the Planning Board was awarded a $40,000 grant from InvestNH Municipal Planning & Zoning Grant Program’s Housing Opportunity Program Needs Assessment Grant (HOP Grant) to prepare a Housing Master Plan Chapter and Regulatory Audit to fund the public engagement, analysis, and documentation of answering the question “what should the future of housing be in Newton?” The Rockingham Planning Commission will assist the Newton Planning Board with this effort over the coming months.
This survey takes about 15 minutes, but you are encouraged to leave additional comments. All survey results will be published, though inappropriate comments may be redacted.
