Examples of By-laws/Ordinances and Design Standards from MA

The new HOMEConnecticut statute - the Connecticut Housing Program for Economic Growth - provides incentives to towns that create overlay zones which allow for mixed-income housing at higher densities. This statute is based on a Massachusetts program already in effect, known as Chapter 40R. Over two dozen towns in Massachusetts have begun working on their overlay zones. Below are examples of the by-laws/ordinances and design standards that have been developed in a few of those towns:
