MAYOR JOHN C. CURRAN AND PLANNING BOARD DIRECTOR ANNOUNCE AGENDA FOR WOBURN HOUSING FORUM
Mayor John C. Curran and Planning Board Director
Ed Tarallo are inviting all interested citizens
to attend the Woburn Housing Forum scheduled
for Wednesday, August 6th, at 7:00pm. The public
forum will be held at the Shamrock School. Mayor
Curran outlined that, "The purpose of this
next installment of our Vision 2020 series is
to elicit and record input from residents, landowners,
developers, and members of the business community
as to the goals and objectives for housing,
as well as locations that should inform the
housing element of the Master Plan. Participants
will hear details of Woburn's past and future
housing supply and demand, brainstorm ideas
relative to housing goals and priorities, identify
location preferences, and proffer input for
housing implementation strategies."
After the development of goals and priorities,
attendees will have the opportunity to discuss
enablers and barriers that might affect Woburn's
capacity to achieve its housing goals. Planning
Board Director, Ed Tarallo, stated that outcomes
would include a "housing goals statement,
a prioritized list of themes, a draft map, and
an achievement assessment." "We will
take the public's input on housing, and together
with assistance from the Metropolitan Area Planning
Council, develop a menu of alternative implementation
tools and planning strategies."
Tarallo stated that after the August 6th session,
a forum on transportation issues would be held
on September 17, 2003. Results from all the
Vision 2020 sessions will then be coordinated
and reviewed at the "Putting It All Together"
Meeting, which is slated to take place on September
30, 2003. As in the past, the Mayor encourages
the public to attend, and anyone with questions
regarding agenda items is encouraged to call
the Planning Board Director.
