On November 13, 2023, LWVN sent a letter to the City Council reaffirming its support of the Village Center Overlay District (VCOD) in furtherance of the positions of LWVN and implementation of the Massachusetts Housing Choice Bill (MBTA Communities). We first wrote to support the Village Center Overlay District (VCOD) in our letter dated June 26, 2023. We write now to urge the Newton City Council to adopt and implement the VCOD in its currently proposed form, without further changes.
