2. Review the 2020 U.S. Census data regarding demographics of the town and data related to the existing number, and types of, housing units.
3. Review the 2014 Comprehensive Plan to determine if the Housing chapter needs to be updated to reflect current conditions.
4. Review the 2014 Comprehensive Plan to determine if the current designated “Rural” and “Growth” areas should be revised to reflect new public utility locations, potential for public transit, and available land for development.
5. Make recommendations to the Cumberland Town Council on ways to facilitate the creation of affordable housing such as increasing density, reducing minimum lot sizes and expanding infrastructure (roads, water sewer).
6. Review the potential for development of all types of housing to include single family, duplex, multiplex, accessory dwelling units, tiny homes, and manufactured homes, which includes single-wide mobile, double-wide mobile and modular homes.
