About the event
This fall, the town is considering a way to make it easier for our young workforce and seniors to live in town by expanding the ability to create more year-round housing. But before voters can take it up at Fall Town Meeting, it has to go through several more steps.
On Wednesday, August 7th at 6pm, the Planning Board is holding a workshop on an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) bylaw. If crafted right, it will allow more housing to be built for year-rounders without developing more land and overburdening our town. We need your voice to ensure the bylaw is easy for homeowners to use.
Mashpee has a drastic shortage of 1-2 bedroom units that the backbone of our economy need in order to afford to live here. ADUs will increase the supply of available market rate units without developing more land, harming water quality, or ruining the character of our community.
