<p class="Default">The City of Watertown is a thriving community in Greater Boston’s inner core with walkable neighborhoods, strong commercial corridors, and a growing team of professional planners. The City has a strong commitment to sustainability, with the
passage of an ambitious climate plan, and three new net-zero schools. Watertown has recently completed a comprehensive plan update and will be working in the coming year to update zoning and complete an area plan for Watertown Square that will improve the
public realm and implement the MBTA communities act. Watertown has seen significant new commercial growth in recent years, particularly in the life sciences sector. The City is seeking to expand and improve open space, support small businesses, provide additional
housing opportunities, build a sustainable multi-modal transportation network, prioritize walkable urban design solutions and grow upon the commitment to thoughtful long-range planning and its implementation.
