NOAH celebrates the preservation of 111 affordable homes in Eastie
The Neighborhood of Affordable Housing (NOAH) gathered with partners, residents and advocates to acknowledge and celebrate everyone who helped NOAH preserve 111 units in 29 buildings in East Boston. NOAH has long been committed to acquiring small multifamily buildings in East Boston. For decades, East Boston’s triple-deckers and small multifamily buildings have provided homes for the working families and immigrants who have helped shape the neighborhood’s identity. As housing costs have risen, preserving these buildings has become increasingly important to protecting longtime residents from displacement. NOAH has been at the forefront of this work, acquiring properties and maintaining them as affordable housing rather than allowing them to be sold on the private market. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, with the help of the Massachusetts Housing Partnership (MHP) and the City of Boston, NOAH acquired over 80 three-deckers. NOAH sold 42 of these to first time homebuyers and has since created an additional 37 first time homeownership units.

Kraft Group proposing to build data center campus in Sutton
SUTTON – A proposal to build multiple data centers on property off Boston Road and Providence Road will come before the Select Board on Tuesday, Nov. 10, according to a memo submitted by Town Manager Austin Cyganiewicz. The campus would feature 10 buildings canvassing 250,000 square feet each, with the first two buildings opening in 2029 and another two opening each year until the project is complete in 2033, according to the proposal. The Unified Global Packaging Group and The Kraft Group, of which Unified is part, are behind the proposal, the memo states. The project would be built on part of Unified Global Packaging's Unified Parkway property . "At full build-out the campus would draw roughly 900 megawatts of power and represent more than $16 billion of private investment by the developer's estimate, several times the $2.8 billion in assessed value of all property in Sutton today," the memo reads. The Kraft Group – run by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his sons Jonathan and Daniel Kraft – is a group of privately held companies that also includes Worcester-based Rand-Whitney, which was previously owned by Jacob Hiatt, the father of Robert Kraft's late wife, Myra.

Dartmouth, Fairhaven, Westport rejected Question 7 on housing
Question 7 on “starter homes,” rejected by Massachusetts voters by a slim margin last week, attracted strong opposition in New Bedford’s suburbs. The ballot measure, introduced amidst a statewide housing crisis, would have allowed single-family homes to be built on 5,000 square foot lots, if they were connected to water and sewer services.
