A Vision for Sustainable, Transit-oriented Development
In this public comment, Pioneer Institute examines the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development’s guidelines on how localities can comply with new zoning mandates around MBTA stations. While some of the compliance criteria and goal-setting language need further clarification and adjustment, overall Pioneer Institute is supportive of the vision for sustainable, transit-oriented development which, if properly implemented, will expand economic opportunity to a new generation of the state’s residents.
