Friends and Colleagues, 

A team of students in my planning class conducted a build-out analysis for Williamstown, with Andrew Groff as their client. The analysis is the result of careful mapping by zone, taking into account development constraints such as wetlands and floodplains and overlay districts. The result shows the town's full development potential by zone.  They did excellent work and the results suggest some recommended actions to more fully use our industrial and commercial land, to densify some residential areas, and to preserve our farmland. 

They will present their maps and findings next Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the Selectman's Room. Please come and hear what they found.  Hopefully we can have a good Q&A session afterwards.  

Please spread the word to others with an interest in land use. 

Many thanks,  

Sarah
