Where can we build?

via the Massachusetts Housing Partnership:

Where can we build?

In addition to summarizing overall characteristics of western Massachusetts parcels, our Center for Housing Data’s new Western Massachusetts Parcel Explorer can help find potential development sites that fit criteria based on a project type of interest.
 
The CHD team worked through four project typologies to demonstrate how users can explore the data to identify an initial set of sites to explore that fit regional and community housing priorities.
 
These slides walk us through Scenario #1: Infill opportunities in neighborhoods with existing residential density

Editor's Note: Yes, the details of the report focus on Western MA. The overall approach is not far off from any other area of MA.

Development Scenarios

Scenario 1: Infill opportunities in neighborhoods with existing residential density

Scenario 2: Accessory dwelling units near existing infrastructure

Scenario 3: Proactive investments to preserve affordable housing

Scenario 4: Diverse strategies and partnerships in Gateway Cities
