Greetings, fellow RCL members,

The Rockport Civic League (RCL) will hold an in-person and on Zoom ( Hybrid) meeting at the Library on September 25, 2024. From 6-6:45 pm

Zoom connection to follow.

 RCL Agenda September 25, 2024

1. Review the Next Steps from the RCL meeting on 9/11/24

A. RCL will follow up with those who supported the open meeting law complaint about whether to challenge the response from the Select Board and Town Counsel.

B. RCL will contact towns with Community Land Trusts only and no municipal affordable housing trusts to understand their reasoning.

C. RCL will contact the Rockport Affordable Housing Coalition about organizing a forum on affordable housing and community land trusts.

2. Rockport Community Land Trust's (CLT) letter answers RCL questions. RCL will send a letter to CLT to praise the organization for its answers in the letter from Sarah Wilkinson, former SB member and Chair. Thank you.

Question: Why was CLT's application to CPC withdrawn?

The answer contained in CLT letter to RCL received 9/23/24

Direct quote from CLT letter follows:

“Our CPC application was withdrawn this past Spring because since we are not a municipal entity, when the application goes to vote, we have to have a specific property. We had been working on one, and the project became something we decided not to move forward on while doing our due diligence, so we withdrew for this latest round/”

3. Praise to RAHT and CPC for Town Meeting approval of $ 420,000 for the Affordable Housing Trust.

We appreciate your support,

Bill, Zenas, Tom, Will, Ken
