We are pleased to send you a proposed scope of work and fee to assist the Town with updating your ordinances to meet the new housing legislation passed into law during 2025/26 - see attached.

We would be happy to set up a meeting/call to discuss any questions/comments you may have - just let us know!

We look forward to working with the Town of Hollis on this important project.
