By taking into account both the cost of housing as well as the cost of transportation associated with the location of the home, H+T provides a more complete understanding of affordability. Dividing these costs by Representative Regional Incomes illustrates the Cost Burden placed on a Typical Household by H+T expenses. While housing alone is traditionally deemed affordable when consuming no more than 30% of income, CNT has defined an affordable range for H+T as the combined costs consuming no more than 45% of income.

- 48. Closing Thoughts 1. Create a vision for your community. 2. Avoid reactionary planning - preserve your sense of place. 3. Concentrate development at the centers of your communities. 4. Resist the temptation to widen lanes or build strip malls outside of town. 5. Visualize and propose smart growth projects to developers 6. Partner with developers and share the burden of predevelopment activities. 7. Utilize the help of partners like CEI and local Economic Development Councils. 8. Don’t give up - Be Persistent. Stick to the plan. The project would not be where it is today without the tireless efforts of Ken Woodbury from the PCEDC, who wrote the majority of the grants and the Town of Dover Foxcroft.
