Will qualified Marshfield residents have to compete with qualified persons who don’t live in Marshfield?

Yes, it’s a lottery. However, preference is given to Marshfield residents for up to 70% of the affordable units. To meet the definition of a Marshfield resident you must a) have your principle residence in Marshfield, b) work in Marshfield, or c) have a family member attend a school in Marshfield. The only competition with qualified persons who don’t live in Marshfield occurs when a sufficient number of Marshfield residents have been selected for 70% of the affordable units and qualified applicants for the remaining units are being selected. In developments produced under Chapter 40B there is no guarantee of a preference for Marshfield residents.
