Financial Feasibility Analysis
PROCESS

UNDERSTANDING THE APPROACH

* Regulatory policies control development process devoid of
market and financial feasibility

* Policies can go
* “Too far” meaning their requirements will make projects non-
competitive, effectively eliminating development
* “Not far enough” meaning they do not deliver the intended
purpose due te lax requirements
* “Just right” balance intended benefits with market/financial
opportunity cost

Financial Feasibility Analysis

PREVIOUS FINDINGS

GROWTH

The City is expected to continue to grow its population and
employment base. Today's housing stock will not
accommodate this growth. How and where does the City
want to grow should be a key consideration in the
upcoming Master Plan.

AFFORDABILITY

Housing prices (sales and rents) are ovtpocing what most
Nashua residents can afford. This means households

BACKGROUND

identifying housing needs /challenges

City’s existing inclusionary zoning (IZ) policy identified as
not meeting market needs

Recommendation to reconsider IZ policy to align with

affordable housing

was undertaken
