Elizabeth Frazier Guest on MEREDA Matters Podcast: Breaking Down MEREDA’s Conversation with Maine Gubernatorial Candidates

What happens when the big ideas from MEREDA’s Fall Conference meet the realities of getting housing built? In this episode, Pierce Atwood Government Relations partner Elizabeth Frazier helps to recap the conversation with Maine’s gubernatorial candidates, where she and Preti Flaherty attorney Jason Howe dig into what they heard and what they didn’t. 

While all three candidates for governor agreed that Maine is facing a housing crisis, they each had different ideas about how to address it. This podcast takes a closer look at the barriers developers continue to face at the local level, the challenges of building housing for Maine’s middle-income workforce, and the question that remains at the heart of the crisis: How do we move from talking about housing to actually getting it built?
