Holden Residents’ MBTA Challenge Dismissed

The lawsuit against the Town of Holden for not adhering to the 2021 MBTA Communities Act aimed at increasing housing supply was dismissed by Judge Daniel Wrenn. The plaintiffs failed to prove how the Town of Holden's noncompliance specifically harmed them. While the law requires certain zoning near transit stations, the Town of Holden, despite not having such stations, is still affected due to its proximity to Worcester, which does have transit access.
