The objective of the panel is to provide a forum for ideas as to how pro-active collaboration between community housing proponents and land conservation advocates can lead to successful outcomes. To start the panel, three individuals—one each from a land trust, a housing interest group, and a planning perspective—will describe their experiences along the way to a successful collaborative project. Each will describe their specific project and lessons learned.
After the presentation of the examples, three local responders—one each from Wellesley’s housing, land trust, and planning communities—will respond to these examples. What lessons can be applied to pro-active planning for Wellesley’s community housing and land conservation needs?
Questions from the audience are welcomed. Register here for this hybrid event.
