Working Toward More Affordable Housing Thank you for the opportunity to provide input into a vision for Norfolk in 10 years. It was 10 years ago that we began searching for a home to buy. We looked at houses in Norfolk, but they were not affordable to us at the time. We purchased a three […]

P&Z’s TOOTHLESS REGULATIONS At the May 10 annual town meeting, Norfolk’s citizens, by an almost two-to-one margin, defeated a proposed ordinance granting the Planning and Zoning Commission authority to impose fines (“up to $100 a day”) for violations of its regulations.
