Who we are
The Cambridge Residents for Growth Management (CRGM) is a group of volunteer Cambridge residents who are united in a campaign to change Cambridge's zoning law. They believe that Cambridge’s Zoning Ordinance should do a much better job of protecting the city’s residential neighborhoods, businesses, and quality of life from the impacts of development. On May 1 they petitioned the City Council to make revisions in the zoning law to manage development on a uniform, citywide basis.
The input for the proposed zoning changes came from hundreds of participants throughout the city. In the past five months, representatives from CRGM have met with just about every neighborhood group, as well as business associations, city agencies, and a large number of individual residents and businesspeople, seeking their input. CRGM have found broad support for the principles of their petition, for changes in zoning and for prompt action to keep Cambridge the kind of place where people want to live.
