	"description": "In Gloucester we need every possible Affordable unit we can secure whether at 80% of Area Mean Income- (AMI), 60% or 30%. Our working class population and those of even more limited income deserve no less. The attempt of the current developer of 8 townhouses at 116 East Main St. to side step the prior commitment to have one of those units be Affordable is a case in point. The original developer committed to one unit being Affordable as part of his agreement in securing the permits for 8 units rather than 6. (Eight units was the trigger for the inclusionary zoning standard at that time; it’s now one unit for every development of 6-9 units, then 15% for ten or more units.) There was no discussion of payment in lieu of or of use of an alternative site. Having made that commitment and secured permitting for 8 townhouses, this commitment, in our opinion, ought to be preserved. The current developer was well aware of this commitment when they purchased the project from the original developer. Sign this letter to insist that this unit be made available via a deed restricted, Affordable agreement. Submit this letter campaign to email City Councilors, especially your Ward Councilor and those on the Planning &amp; Development Committee – Jason Grow, Val Gilman, Tracy O’Neil to share your opinion that the original agreements should be adhered to. Have some time? We encourage contacting your councilor via phone call as well!",
