Work session Housing and affordability

What's on this agenda

This work session is discussion-only, no votes. The main topic is the stalled downtown opportunity site project: town staff and developer LMG walk Council through the site's residential-to-commercial ratio and options for moving the original higher-density concept forward, with the town's Development Finance Initiative consultants on hand.

Council also gets two routine monthly updates: the Development Activity Map and a preview of the March 2026 meeting agendas.
