The city has encouraged developers that specialize in building affordable housing to invest in Stoughton. The problem is finding that developer. This type of construction requires an extraordinary amount of time and extra work to secure the needed funds and permits. Not all developers are willing or able to do what is required. When we succeed, it can be quite rewarding. So when that special developer steps up, we must do all we can within the existing codes to move that project forward.
The city has zoning codes on the books that address sustainability. Also,when a development is in the planning stage, the Planning Commission is intimately involved in the planning process. Public safety,traffic patterns, parks and natural areas are all taken into consideration.
I believe that affordable housing is and should be our top priority. However, it is a difficult process that requires a good working partnership between the developers and the city.
I would refer you back to the first question for a better explanation of the process.
I am a life long residen of Stoughton. A veteran of the US Coast Guard. Retired from Nelson Industries/Cummins and have served on the Stoughton City Council for the past 18 years. With your support, I look forward to serving our community for another term.
