Anne Arundel County Council passes revamped housing bill in spite of environmental concerns

The Anne Arundel County Council passed a bill Monday that will require developers to allocate a portion of new units for moderate-income residents and create more diverse housing types in certain areas, in spite of environmental concerns raised by community members. Known as the Housing Attainability Act, the bill would require new housing developments with 20 or more units to designate 10% of for-sale units and 15% of rental units to be affordable.
