strongly recommended by him. These areas are in need of revitalization.
The Hearing Action Plan will be filed this month. Roger would go 100% for Brownsfield for Chp. 40-B. Mr.

take longer, and would be harder to achieve our goal. Roger mentioned Plymouth Rubber as one. The newly
drafted Housing Strategy Plan will be available this week per the Boards' request. The Planning Board would
like to have a public hearing on this soon. This will eventually be sent to the State. Roger wants to incorporate
