Middleborough
418 Community Development Plan
The Town of Middleborough's capacity to manage resource protection, housing, economic development, and fiscal balance is at a crossroads. Regionally oriented commercial and residential development along Route 44, residential subdivisions in the Town's rural agricultural areas of Thompson Street and increasing sprawl of residential and lower quality commercial uses along Route 28 threaten the Town's natural resources, rural landscape and capacity to properly maintain basic municipal services and infrastructure. The firm of Larry Koff & Associates identified six key building block strategies to address the Town's needs: recodification of the zoning bylaws, adoption of new districts for resource protection, affordable housing, village centers, and economic development, and the reorganization of the Town's housing and economic development committees and obtain grants. Upon approval of the Plan, the Selectmen voted to submit an Application for Priority Development Funding to carry out the proposed Action Plan.
Affordable Housing Plan
The Town of Middleborough is preparing an Affordable Housing Plan that will fulfill the requirements of Planned Production under Chapter 40B. Following up on the Community Development Planning Process, this plan will focus on opportunities for quality higher density housing in appropriate areas, while protecting the traditional rural character of the town.
