Newton Housing Survey
Newton Housing Survey
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.
Things to know about the survey:
- You may wish to consider taking this survey on a computer or tablet for ease of entering responses.
- Comments are not required but are encouraged. Responses to multiple-choice questions are captured automatically.
- You will be able to see the comments and responses left by others. You can choose to keep your comments private to others taking the survey.
- You are able to reply to others' comments, agree with comments, or flag comments that you feel are inappropriate.
- Comments that are flagged as inappropriate by others or by the survey program will be reviewed by a survey administrator prior to publication.
If you would like to receive additional notices about future planning efforts in Newton, including survey results, please include your contact information at the end of the survey. (Please note that contact information will not be published.)
