Show Seattle City Council you believe in Just Growth
On Monday, February 25th at 2:30pm, Seattle City Council Committee on South Lake Union is scheduled to discuss affordable housing incentives. Help us pack City Hall with affordable housing supporters!
Over the past several months, City Council has heard from Puget Sound Sage, community and allies that modest-wage workers should be able to afford to live near where they work. It is now time to show City Council we support Just Growth!
Puget Sound Sage believes that developers should pay their fair share to help build a Seattle where all families can thrive. That is why we have signed our name to support rezoning that includes affordable homes in South Lake Union!
We all know our current incentive zoning and the current package will not meet our region's goals for growth.
We cannot make the mistake of the past and settle for programs that do not do enough. We have an opportunity to move towards a vision of multi-racial, mixed income sustainable communities thriving along our high capacity corridors because zoning is fundamentally about creating public value.
Come to the meeting on February 25th, and show your support of Just Growth. Help us show City Council that we need leadership on equitable development and it starts with strengthening incentive zoning to create more affordable homes in South Lake Union.
The committee meeting is scheduled to begin at 2:30pm, immediately following the full City Council meeting. If you have a story for Just Growth please send to [email protected].
