*How Do We Reinvest in & Redevelop Our Aging Neighborhoods?*
Brought to you by ThisOldNeighborhood.Net

*Our condominium complexes are aging.*  We know the horror stories of 
skyrocketing condo fees, collapsing buildings, staggering special 
assessments, and insurance carriers exiting the market.  Here, in Acton 
MA and 10 other pilot communities in Massachusetts, 
Decarbonization ordinances require that large-scale projects be fossil 
fuel free.  Our volunteer boards don't have the capacity to Plan, 
Finance, and Manage large scale redevelopment projects.  We need help.

We ask you to join ThisOldNeighborhood.Net in Town Meeting, to share our 
needs & visions of a #NewWayForward. We ask you to join 
ThisOldNeighborhood.Net in Town Meeting, to share our needs & visions of 
a #NewWayForward. Topics we’ll discuss:

How We Reinvest in & Redevelop our aging neighborhoods, without breaking 
the bank?

  *
    How we do it in the context of new building codes requiring fossil
    fuel free redevelopment.
  *
    How we Buy Local, Build Local, and Invest Local.
  *
    How do we access the Municipal Planning, Engineering, Financing, and
    Purchasing services that our taxes pay for, but that stop at the
    boundaries of neighborhoods managed by Condominium & Homeowners
    Associations?

*We call this/Town Meeting/so that those of us living in aging 
neighborhoods can voice our needs.* In subsequent sessions, we will 
invite our local, state, and national representatives to address these 
needs with specific programs, and funding.  The event will be held as a 
zoom conference, with breakout sessions for discussion.

organize a*/Condominium Owners Network/*//and create a*Permanent Civic 
Forum* to collect & promote the needs of*/Condominium Owners of 
America./*We are currently engaged in a study of/Facilities Master 
Planning & Acquisitions Models/ for comprehensive redevelopment of aging 
condominium complexes in the 10 communities participating in 
the/Massachusetts Municipal Fossil Fuel Free Construction & Renovation 
Demonstration Program -/where communities have enacted “Decarbonization” 
ordinances that apply to new construction & major renovations. A major 
goal of our work is to*Provide Condominium & Homeowners Associations

to those available to owners of properties directly supported by 
municipal government & 
launching/BuyLocal/BuildLocal/InvestLocal/programs to support 
Condominium Associations.*
