AI Summary
This bill would authorize the town of Concord to establish a building permit fee surcharge for affordable housing. The surcharge would apply to construction projects that exceed a minimum construction value set by the Select Board. The revenue from the surcharge would be deposited into the Concord Municipal Affordable Housing Trust Fund and used for purposes permitted under state law. The bill defines "affordable housing" as housing that is rented or owned by families and individuals with incomes up to 150% of the area median income, subject to restrictions to maintain long-term affordability. The bill requires the town to approve the measure through a vote at an annual or special town meeting.
