Newbury's Housing Production Plan Update in Final Review

A Housing Production Plan (HPP) is a community's proactive strategy for planning and developing affordable housing. Newbury is working to update its 5-year plan for the 2024-2029 time period, working collaboratively with planners from the Merrimack Valley Planning Commission (MVPC) to collect data, understand local housing conditions and needs, and develop strategies that will meet the needs of residents today and in the future.

The Town is currently in final review of the 2024-2029 HPP Update. Please visit the HPP page for more info and a link to the draft plan.

The planning for the Update began in the fall of 2023, with robust outreach and engagement through 2024 as described. The final draft plan was presented at the Planning Board's 12/4/24 public meeting, with these slides presented by staff from MVPC. Once adopted by the Planning Board and by the Select Board, the plan will be submitted to the State for approval.
