AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAN SURVEY
The Bozrah Planning & Zoning Commission is developing an “affordable housing plan” as required by state statute. The plan will assess the needs for, and way to potentially address, housing affordability and supply in town. This plan is required to be completed by 2022 and must be completed updated every five years thereafter. This survey will help form valuable background information, allowing residents to give feedback regarding the housing needs that currently exist.
