HELP SHAPE THE RAPTOR LANE PROJECT!

Over the past 2+ years the Town has worked to better understand the need for housing that supports working families and seniors. The Town has also done work to review what opportunities exist to develop housing at Raptor Lane. In 2025 the Town was able to develop and RFP and receive a concept proposal from a developer.

At the last 3 Select Board meetings the Town has reviewed the concept and determined possible next steps. Next on the list is to hold a series of public meetings to present on the need for housing, what opportunity exists at Raptor Lane, and engage the community to help define a project that the community supports.

Dorset is very fortunate to have this opportunity, and the public engagement that will be needed over the coming months is vital to shaping the project.

NEXT MEETING:
JANUARY 21ST AT 5:30PM
DORSET TOWN OFFICES & VIA ZOOM
