The Town Council gets a chance to lend their approval of a "friendly 40b" on Wednesday, April 10, 2024. They whiffed on their chance last year rejecting the 121 Grove St proposal by a 4-5 vote. (vote & meeting info below)
The chance this time is for the proposal to develop the Stobbart's property bringing 264 rental units, 66 of them would be "Affordable."
The proposal documentation is found here:
