Land Use Study

This study will be looking at current problems of land use in Brookline that are not addressed by our current positions + mixed use, 2 family homes being razed for 4-8 condo units. Some sections of Brookline now have a higher density than Somerville, which has the highest density by town in the state. If the population of the town increases can the public works + sewer, water, etc. + support this growth? Janice Kahn will be heading up this study. If you are interested in joining this study please send an e-mail to info@lwvbrookline.org or call 617-566-3238.
