THE CHALLENGES MILTON FACES

Milton is confronting a set of complex, interrelated challenges that require careful, forward-looking planning. With proactive planning, these challenges can become opportunities to strengthen our community.

  • Limited land for new growth, putting pressure on town services and finances.

  • A statewide housing shortage that limits options and drives up costs​

  • Increased traffic congestion that causes safety risks for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians

PRIORITIES

Streamlining permitting

creating clear, fair, and predictable permitting processes that save time, reduce unnecessary costs, and provide transparency for applicants and residents. 

​

Collaboration and long-range planning

working closely with other boards and departments to ensure long-term sustainable solutions.

 

Addressing housing needs proactively
so Milton can shape its future intentionally, rather than reacting to outside pressures.

 

Supporting local business diversification
and economic vitality, establishing tools to encourage local business and exploring smart, appropriately scaled economic development to strengthen the tax base and community resources.
