What is an Urban Renewal Plan and why is it better than not having a plan?

• An Urban Renewal Plan sets the stage for leveraging the special capabilities of a Redevelopment Authority.

• It demonstrates alignment with state laws and regulations.

• It equips the HRA and the town with better tools to solicit, negotiate, and shape future improvement/development and community benefits.

• It requires approvals from the Select Board (with input from the Planning Board) and the State Department of Housing and Community Development.

• It provides the greatest flexibility in shaping a plan that meets community goals and interests.
