Short Virtual Meeting Wed Feb 9: Housing Issues Coming Before Worcester City Council

This presentation will review housing-related proposals recently brought before Worcester's city council from a councilor's perspective. We will also discuss proposals expected to be presented in the future:

• What the city is doing to help stabilize renters and landlords through the pandemic.
• What proposals may be brought forward again or in the future, and how landlords can best represent their perspective.
• The important role MassLandlords can play in helping city council make the best possible decisions for all concerned.

Attendees will leave knowing how to engage effectively with Worcester City Council in particular, and may learn approaches that will work with other municipalities as well.

Part of this event will be presented by Worcester City Councilor Morris "Moe" Bergman. Councilor Bergman is a Worcester attorney in private practice currently serving his fifth two-year term as a Councilor-at-Large. He previously served two terms as a member of the City of Worcester Zoning Board of Appeals and currently serves as a docent for Preservation Worcester. He has been a MassLandlords Worcester Property Owners Association member since 2013 or earlier (we updated our membership database that year).
