Two-Year Restriction On Reconsidering A Zoning Proposal (M.G.L. c. 40A)

The MBTA Communities Act has far-reaching consequences for zoning, infrastructure, and local governance. While aimed at increasing housing near transit, many communities face challenges related to school capacity, traffic, and public services. Legal battles and legislative efforts seek to challenge or modify the law, as municipalities navigate compliance risks. In Millbury, residents overwhelmingly rejected related zoning changes, signaling strong local opposition. Community participation remains crucial—those who do not engage in discussions cannot later claim their voices were ignored. Stay informed and involved to protect your town’s future.
