Housing Endorsements

Weston Park Apartments | 143 Washington Street | WEYMOUTH

6/19/2019

The SSEDC’s Housing Committee supports the Weston Park Apartments development in Weymouth (42 homes). The project is 1/3 of a mile from the Braintree / Weymouth Landing Commuter Rail station. The project is part of a larger redevelopment effort of The Landing neighborhood which straddles the Braintree and Weymouth town line. It is on an underutilized lot along the Rt. 53 corridor. The convenience of the commuter rail and the proximity to restaurants, coffee shops and other amenities makes the project particularly attractive to younger professionals who find themselves priced out of the Boston housing market, or who are choosing to live on the South Shore, but want a more urban-feeling environment and easy transit access into Boston.

The SSEDC’s Housing Committee supports the Town of Weymouth’s Commercial Overlay District Zoning change. The overlay district identifies 4 key commercial corridors in need of revitalization and allow for mixed-use, combining of lots to make larger, more dense developments more feasible. It allows greater investment into the town through a special permit process. These zoning changes will help Weymouth achieve its goals of creating compact, walkable, mixed-use, and transit-friendly development within appropriate areas of Weymouth.

Chamber & Housing Committee Support: Mayor Hedlund and Planning Department provided platforms to address SSCC business leaders; SSCC spoke up publicly in support of these zoning changes

The SSEDC’s Housing Committee supports the 1500 Main Street development in Weymouth (237 homes). The project is across the street from the South Weymouth Commuter Rail station, adjacent to the Union Point development and on an underutilized lot off of the Rt. 18 corridor. The convenience of the commuter rail makes the project particularly attractive to younger professionals who find themselves priced out of the Boston housing market, or who are choosing to live on the South Shore, but want a more urban-feeling environment and easy transit access into Boston. The project is proposed under the new Commercial Corridor Overlay District and is the second project to have been introduced under this new zoning change.
