Minutes, October 28, 1985 Page 5 The Board discussed a request for proposals for grants for strategic planning received from the State Executive Office of Communities and Development. As the guidelines focus on affordable housing, a proposal for expanding the role of LEXHab, possibly with professional staff assistance, would be a logical next step in Lexington's efforts in affordable housing. The Board reviewed the Selectmen's goals. It was agreed the two Boards should meet soon to discuss housing efforts. ******************************* REPORTS 245. Planning Board, Subcommittees: a.
