The Winchester Economic Development Authority proposed changes to the city council to reduce blighted properties and increase the city's stock of affordable housing. The proposal involves revising the Employee Assisted Housing Program (EAHP), which stopped being utilized in 2009. The city is experiencing rising real estate prices, with the median sale price for single-family homes currently at $372,323.
