Among other things, it seems to support the point that requiring town
meeting approval of a particular proposed housing development, rather than
just creating some appropriate zoning rules, is a substantial deterrent to

Thanks for pulling up the resolution language, Rich. I agree, that is
clearly what that language means. So continuing to consider a “100%” option
is perfectly consistent with the resolution.
Similarly, the resolution language clearly says that the new community

other factors besides colocation convenience that also weigh strongly in
favor of the Hartwell Campus location - see the summary from Krystal above.)
