Housing Planning and Development
In the Town Plan, Waterbury established seven broad goals as critically important to the town’s evolution in the coming years. One of these goals is to “achieve continued availability of housing for existing and new residents in a manner respectful of natural resources; in this effort, encourage and prioritize the rehabilitation of existing buildings, especially historic structures, as well as new construction” (p. 4). The Housing Task Force was formed in 2023 to examine housing needs and opportunities, complementing the work of the Planning Commission, Select Board, and other town committees pursuing the town goal of ensuring the availability of safe, decent, and affordable housing for all current and future Waterbury residents.
