Addressing the Challenges Communities Face to Create Housing

On January 21, 2026, the Housing Committee hosted this webinar discussing creating housing that is affordable and that works with the character of rural communities, which can be a complicated puzzle. In this webinar, architects, community planners, lenders, and developers discuss how development can be planned to fit into towns like Woodstock. Topics include financial, sustainability, zoning, and design issues, as they envision housing that will fill the needs of individual communities.
