“The intention of the MBTA Communities law is to increase opportunities for new housing, which will lower costs for us all, and we commend cities and towns who are planning for the future needs of their residents. Forward-looking communities are not only seeking compliance with the law but working hard to seize this opportunity to create and expand vibrant, affordable neighborhoods that meet the needs of their young families, senior citizens, and municipal workforce," said Ed Augustus, Secretary of Housing and Livable Communities. Since Monday, town meetings in #Belmont, #Foxborough, #Hopkinton, #ManchesterbytheSea, #Seekonk, #Shirley, #Shrewsbury, #Ashland, #Kingston, #Millis, and #Bellingham approved new multifamily zoning districts. https://lnkd.in/eE5bFDdX
