The purpose of the update is to revisit priorities and financial incentives to achieve several community improvement objectives, including:

• encouraging the development of more missing middle housing and affordable housing
• supporting the rehabilitation of existing buildings to revitalize the downtown
• encouraging the redevelopment and rehabilitation of underutilized brownfield sites to support new housing and revitalization goals
