The Blue Hill Public Library’s Community Forum series continues on Wednesday December 11th at 6:30 PM. The topic will be Stimulating Affordable Housing.

This forum will address issues of employment and social opportunities along with workforce housing in the Blue Hill area, with a focus on exploring ways to stimulate workforce housing in the coming years. Subjects for discussion will include the unmet demand for housing on the peninsula, current affordable housing options, and programs and new ideas that have had success addressing housing issues.

Presenters will be Bruce Stahnke, architect; Mike Wood, Chairman of Island Workforce Housing; Marla O’Byrne, Executive Director of Island Housing Trust on MDI; and Chuck Lawrence, owner of Tradewinds Markets. The program will be moderated by Dr. Gregory Bush.
