Many from town listen, learn, and talk about range of housing issues.

Dozens of local residents attended Senator Jason Lewis’ Community Conversation issue discussion forum in Reading on housing issues. A wide range of topics related to housing were discussed, from smart growth and economic trends, to multi-family developments and affordable housing, to homelessness, to senior housing needs. Further, audience members offered substantive questions for discussion and raised thoughtful points.
