The Affordable Housing Task Force had its second meeting yesterday afternoon. City council created the 23-member task force to bring perspective on affordable housing and what’s being called “workforce housing” to the comprehensive plan process. The task force is set to deliver a report to council in February and the comprehensive plan should be ready for review next summer. City planners expect Raleigh to grow by 70 percent over the next 20 years. The comprehensive plan is supposed to lay out what Raleigh will look like in 2030, from public transit to schools to high-rise office space.
