BREWSTER – The Brewster Community Network will host a forum next week to discuss a proposal being considered that would make it easier for single family homes to create in-law units.
Town Planner Ryan Bennett, Housing Coordinator Jill Scalese and consultant Laura Harbottle will explain the proposal and answer questions July 24 at 6:30 p.m. at the Brewster Ladies Library.
Zoning and other restrictions have made “second unit” dwellings difficult, but major Accessory Dwelling Unit by-law revisions are being drafted before Town Meeting in November.
Some believe the “second units” are a solution for affordable housing needs, and can provide seniors extra income to stay in their homes.
An update will also be given on progress of marijuana growers and retailers.
