Report highlights Upper Valley housing shortage, calls for solutions
Modified: 5/1/2021 12:17:09 AM
WEST LEBANON About 10,000 new housing units are needed by 2030 to meet increased demand for homes in the Upper Valley, according to a new report.
Area planners say creative solutions will be needed to meet that goal, which is about three times more homes than were built in the region between 2010 and 2020, according to the recently released Keys to the Valley report, which is available online at keystothevalley.com.
“We have a housing crisis, and it is getting worse. It is not a small problem,” says the report, which was produced by the region’s three regional planning commissions the Lebanon-based Upper Valley Lake Sunapee Regional Planning Commission, the Woodstock-based Two Rivers-Ottauquechee Regional Commission and the Ascutney-based Mount Ascutney Regional Commission.
