WATERVILLE City officials plan to evaluate Waterville’s housing stock by forming a committee comprising two city councilors and up to six other residents who are involved in housing matters.
“We know that we have a housing crisis,” Mayor Jay Coelho said Thursday. “We don’t have enough.”
If the city wants more people to move to the area, officials must determine what the housing situation looks like, what mix of housing the city needs single-family homes, rental units and so forth and then see what can be done to effect change, according to Coelho.
