Housing Forum
7:00pm – Town Offices Conference Room
The Planning Board is unanimous in wanting to maintain the characteristics of Lyme that residents find so attractive. We can all agree there is a shortage of housing in the Upper Valley.
How might Lyme participate in solving this regional problem? The Planning Board would like to share what we have learned and find out from you whether or how we should pursue incentivizing housing opportunities.
The Upper Valley Lake Sunapee Regional Planning Commission (RPC) is our regional planning commission. A recent RPC study suggests that the Upper Valley needs 5600 additional housing units by 2040, and that Lyme’s fair share goal is 145, at least double the growth rate of the past 15 years.
The Planning Board has invited the RPC to a public meeting to discuss the housing shortage and allocations that they have suggested on October 10th at 7pm.
Please come and learn with us so we can work together to address the housing issue as a community. For more information (and a zoom link for the forum) visit: https://www.lymenh.gov/planning-board/events/102161
