By looking to address climate change as its number one priority, Warren officials and members of the public have drafted a document that seeks to simultaneously affect positive change in multiple other related areas.
After learning that a conditional approval which hinged on reducing an affordable housing development from 40 units to 25 wouldn't likely stand in court, members of the Warren Planning Board face an uncomfortable decision.
While the board actually voted to approve the project by a 5-1 margin, it was done so only under the condition that the number of units be decreased in order to reduce the density of the development.
While some concerns over landscaping and the aesthetics of a new building to be constructed on the site remain to be hammered out, a 20-unit development that includes the rehabilitation of an historic school building in Warren has received Master Plan approval.
As Warren looks to finalize its first update to its Comprehensive Plan since 2003, it does so amidst an environment where new housing developments will continue to be one of the top issues to watch in Town.
