Missed Deadlines, Court-Ordered Fixes

Campbell’s office is now asking the court to order each municipality to amend its zoning bylaws to meet the statute’s requirements.
Campbell: Housing Supply Is an Economic Imperative
“The vast majority of MBTA communities deeply understand that developing more multifamily housing will improve our ability to attract businesses, retain our families and residents, and ensure that Massachusetts remains the greatest state in the country to live, start a family, and work,” Campbell said in a statement.

The state is represented by Esme Caramello, Margaret Hurley and Lauren Yamaguchi of the Office of the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Attorney information for the towns was not immediately available.
