CommunityScale in the news: Housing is focus of Stowe forum

SOLUTIONS

At a community forum in Stowe, Vermont, CommunityScale shared early findings from its housing work, reporting that just one-third of local homes are owner-occupied and that roughly 1,300 diverse new units are needed. Residents at the forum, hosted by the Stowe Housing Task Force, voiced support for zoning updates, new funding tools, and a stronger town role in making housing attainable for year-round workers and families.
