The Current Workforce Housing Law Is Important to NH's Economic Recovery & Growth.
It should not be undermined!
We need you to send a message to New Hampshire legislators. Join us in OPPOSING HB 1282 which would undermine current law (RSA 674:58-61) by making it optional for municipalities to approve workforce housing.
HB 1282 will have a hearing before the House Municipal and County Government Committee next Tuesday, January 31st at 1:00pm in Room 301 of the Legislative Office Building in Concord.
WHAT CAN YOU DO? Call your representatives today. Tell them to:
* Oppose HB 1282
* Support ongoing efforts to provide safe, adequate, affordable housing for all of New Hampshire’s residents
POINTS TO MAKE:
* The Workforce Housing law is good for New Hampshire’s economy, workforce and housing needs
* The Workforce Housing law should not be repealed or weakened
* The Workforce Housing law does not create statewide zoning, local control is retained
* Over 50 communities have already adopted changes to their zoning to meet the law’s requirements
* The Workforce Housing law allows appropriate use of private property without undue local regulatory barriers thereby protecting the landowner’s rights under our New Hampshire Constitution
* The Workforce Housing law helps to create jobs, recognizing that housing development infuses over $50 million a year into NH’s economy
Calls are better than emails. If you do email, please put "Oppose HB 1282" in the subject line.
