CT officials lay out current, future infrastructure projects at summit
Jocelyn Ayer, the director of the Litchfield County Center for Housing Opportunity, also spoke to her experiences in trying to counter local resistance toward building new housing in Connecticut’s northwest corner.
“When we talk to towns about where they can locate new housing, they shrug,” Ayer said.
Ayer said she counters that response by pointing to old parking lots or vacant schools properties that could be developed into multifamily housing.
“We can turn those into community assets,” Ayer said.
