Understanding the Plymouth Land Bank

October 6th 3:45 @the Barn

Please join us when Kevin Canty will present the status of the Plymouth Land Bank, what it is, and why it’s needed.

Plymouth already has some of the most restrictive residential zoning in the entire Commonwealth, and still new subdivisions are being built. That is because Plymouth can’t prevent developers from building what is allowed by existing residential zoning. Moreover, our commercially zoned land is being converted to apartments though an “affordable” housing loophole in State law (Chapter 40B) which allows developers to completely ignore Town zoning laws.

If Plymouth wants to manage its natural resources and control new residential development – to prevent land from being developed – the town needs to own it.
