The Massachusetts Municipal Lawyers Association will host a half-day seminar for municipal counsel and local officials, titled “Navigating State Mandates, Municipal Opportunities, and Local Impacts Related to Housing Production,” on Aug. 1 in Sturbridge.
The seminar will cover what municipal counsel and local officials need to know about the state’s housing policies and legislation impacting municipalities.
Topics will include recent housing legislation, the attorney general’s Housing Affordability Unit, the MBTA Communities Act, affordable housing trusts, local tax incentives for affordable housing, and the tension between environmental protections and proposed housing projects.

The program agenda and speakers will run from 1 to 5:30 p.m.
