Agawam officials say state housing plan undermines local zoning control
Original: Agawam officials: Housing affordability plan guts local control of zoning
Officials in Agawam, Massachusetts are voicing opposition to a state housing affordability plan, arguing that it strips municipalities of local control over zoning decisions. They contend the plan would force changes to local land-use rules without adequate input from city leaders, as Massachusetts pushes communities to allow more housing to address the state's affordability crisis.
Why now: Massachusetts is rolling out housing affordability policies that towns fear will override local zoning authority, prompting pushback from Agawam officials.
