[Massplanners] MBTA Communities - Weekly update 5-22-24

[Kluchman, Chris (EOHLC)]

Good afternoon Massachusetts Planners, advocates and local officials.  Here is this week's update about local governments that are approving zoning intended to comply with the MBTA Communities law.  As of today, there are at least 67 such municipalities!!  Only 12 towns have seen zoning measures fail.  EOHLC has a "status table" on our website which is updated every Friday that tracks this information that you can access here<https://www.mass.gov/info-details/multi-family-zoning-requirement-for-mbta-communities#complying-with-section-3a-guidelines-> (scroll down a bit to find that table).

If your community should be on this list, please let us know at eohlc3A at mass.gov<mailto:eohlc3A at mass.gov>!
