The public good will be considered met for improvements that directly support the housing development and are:
- publicly owned and publicly accessible; or
- privately owned and publicly accessible; or
- privately owned and privately accessible improvements may be eligible so long as they can demonstrate a community benefit from the CHIP-supported infrastructure project. The municipality shall articulate with evidence how the community needs or desires the planned improvements and that they are mutually beneficial for the municipality and developer. (i.e., private septic systems for a development in a community that does not have a municipal wastewater system, and/or the cost of connecting the development to an existing system would be cost-prohibitive for the developer and town.
