Submitted by Glenn Garber, Director of the Bedford Planning Department
This special Fact Sheet was prepared and is released under the auspices of the Bedford Planning Board.
It contains data compiled in response to questions and concerns raised by citizens in regard to historical housing growth, types of housing built, affordable units, various issues of the economic base and taxation, open space preservation and related matters. There has been a great deal of speculation about such issues in recent months and the Board is trying to provide accurate, factual information for the benefit of all parties in the dialogue.
