Tuesday’s Lowell City Council meeting led off with a motion by Councilor Erik Gitschier that the council send a letter to “our state delegation” expressing the council’s opposition to House Bill 2347, “An Act to Promote Yes in God’s Back Yard.” The bill’s goal is to promote more housing by allowing religious institutions to bypass local zoning rules and avoid paying property taxes for multifamily housing constructed on land owned by the religious organization.
