📰 News we're reading

• An 'Example For Other Towns': Fair Share Housing Center Responds To Westfield Settlement (patch.com) — Westfield’s newly approved affordable housing settlement is drawing praise from the Fair Share Housing Center, which says the town’s transit-oriented redevelopment and strong income targets set an example for other New Jersey communities. The agreement emphasizes a high share of low- and very low-income units, along with strict marketing and reporting requirements, aiming to expand economic opportunity and quality of life for Westfield residents.
