On Thursday, September 5th at 7 pm the Needham Planning Board will hold a Public Hearing on the Town’s MBTA Communities/Multi-Family Zoning Proposal which will be voted on by Town Meeting members at Special Town Meeting on October 21st. The hearing will be held in the performance center at Broadmeadow Elementary School, 120 Broad Meadow Road, and via Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88046725264
The MBTA Communities Law requires 177 municipalities in the Greater Boston area to confirm that they have a zoning district of reasonable size where multi-family housing (3+ units) is zoned for by-right. Needham does not currently comply with the law and the Town’s zoning must be revised to meet the new requirements.

- You may attend the hearing in person to share your comments or, if you’re attending the meeting by Zoom, please raise your virtual hand to ask to speak.
