Town of Dedham
Building Moratorium Committee
Current
Activities: Mr. Bremer was appointed to an Ad-Hoc committee, charged by the Town Meeting with making a recommendation to the subsequent Town Meeting regarding a pending motion to imposed a moratorium on new construction in the Town. After consideration of the fiscal implications of limited development, including the shift of the real estate tax burden on to residential tax payers, increased traffic that would result from additional commercial and institutional development, as well of the desirability of the preservation of the closeness of the Dedham community, a widely varied committee unanimously recommended that the Town not impose such a moratorium, but that it make renewed efforts to enhance the Town planning and permitting procedures and further enhance long-term planning for land use.
