New Bedford's Sunbeam Bread building clears hurdle for 37 apartments

NEW BEDFORD – A plan to convert the former Sunbeam Bread building’s second and third floors into 37 apartments has cleared a permitting hurdle. The sprawling property at 229-241 Coffin Ave. won Zoning Board of Appeals approval to make the change from storage space to apartments on Oct. 15. The bakery closed in 2005. The property’s first floor will continue to be used for commercial/retail. The proposal required a ZBA special permit determination that the benefit to the city and the neighborhood outweighs any adverse effects of the proposed use. The main benefit to the city is the housing provided , according to the owner/applicant. The initial plan included providing 16 parking spaces within a proposed interior garage area on the first floor. Developers added another 12 spots to the plan to bring the total to 28. Question 7: New Bedford, Fairhaven officials say ballot measure helps housing crisis What's next for the proposal The required number of parking spaces is 37, so the applicant/owner will be seeking a special permit from the Planning Board to allow the lesser number. There are 23 spaces already approved for the first-story commercial portion of the building. The owner/applicant is currently conducting a

Vote Yes on Massachusetts Ballot Question 7

Eight weeks into my introductory economics class, and I’ve already learned the economic tools needed to address the housing crisis Massachusetts is facing. As anyone who has taken an analogous course can tell you, the way to fix a shortage without changing demand is to increase supply, and one key way to increase supply is deregulation. In the housing market, this means removing overly restrictive zoning rules that inhibit the construction of homes. On Nov. 3, voters in Massachusetts have the opportunity to make that happen.

A governor who shows up for the Berkshires

It is one thing for a governor to know where the Berkshires are. It is another to understand what it takes to live here. I first encountered Maura Healey in January 2020, when I was serving on the Great Barrington Selectboard. I had traveled to the State House to testify on a home rule petition concerning the return of horse racing to the Great Barrington Fairgrounds.
