Lunch and Learn: A Look at Burlington’s Key Housing-Related Initiatives
February 15, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 1:15 pm
Since 2021, the City of Burlington has been working to implement a 10-point housing action plan. The plan includes major housing-related initiatives for institutions (such as UVM); for the South End; and for City-wide implementation. City of Burlington Planning Director Meagan Tuttle and/or other Planning Department staff, will update us on these housing initiatives, and will be available to hear your comments and answer your questions about housing-related issues that Burlington is facing..

About OZ’s Lunch and Learns
We gather at Ohavi Zedek’s Social Hall as an in-person event from noon to 1:15pm. (We are not using Zoom unless conditions change.)
A delicious lunch will be offered. Monthly speakers will cover a wide range of topics. Seating will be available for those who want to stay masked and not join us for lunch. Our goal is for everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy the talks.
The program is free, with an option to make a donation to support our programming.
