Description

Join us for a conversation on Jan. 3 with Needham business owners explaining why they support a “Yes” vote on the Jan. 14 referendum and why they believe creating small, multi-family homes in Needham’s near local shops and restaurants is vital to their success

We’ll explain what Needham’s housing plan does and doesn’t do, as well as the potential consequences of being out of compliance with state law. 

But our main focus will be an opportunity to hear directly from, and ask questions to, local employers who believe Neighorhood Housing Plan is critical to their ability to hire and retain workers and to a vibrant Needham.
