Zoning Board of Appeals - Jan 15, 2026
Kingsway Development wants to build about 378 affordable apartments across five buildings on Center Road between Lippincott and Atherton. The board approved a parking variance so the project can pencil out, though some members worry 1.4 spaces per unit won't be enough in a car-dependent town.
