Development watch
Planning Board materials discuss a proposed MBTA Multi-Family Housing Overlay District along North Main Street (about 7.7 acres) intended to allow multifamily by-right. The framework references zoning capacity for 145 units at 15 units per acre, plus a 10% affordability set-aside at or below 80% AMI, subject to site plan review.
Locally, the key question is whether more listings are coming to market this spring—or whether price reductions become more common as days-on-market stays elevated.
