255 apartments units proposed for former Worcester supermarket site

WORCESTER – After two decades of speculation over the future of a large Mill Street lot across from Coes Reservoir, the owner has come forward with plans to build a housing complex with 255 units across seven buildings. The lot at 195 Mill St. was once home to the Big D chain and Price Chopper. The property has remained vacant for two decades after the grocery stores left, with the 32,000-square-foot building they left behind deteriorating into an eyesore and a significant topic of conversation during past election years. The building was torn down in October 2023 by the owner Worcester Mill LLC, a holding company that is part of Plaza Properties, which redeveloped the Lincoln Plaza shopping center. The company is headed by Sam Adams, whose family formerly owned the Big D supermarket chain. Blueprints Worcester Mill LLC submitted with the Zoning Board of Appeals show three five-story buildings and four four-story buildings. The 255 units will include studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. The plans also include 389 total parking spaces, including 85 compact spaces, 39 electrical vehicle spaces, 39 electrical vehicle-ready spaces and 16 accessible spaces. The owners will appear in front of the Zoning Board of Appeals

In Wellesley, Massachusetts, it is basically illegal to build a starter home, and it looks like it will stay that way.

Repeal campaign united cannabis sector. Here's what's next

A proposal to kill Massachusetts' legal cannabis industry flamed out Tuesday, with a resounding no vote . Now comes the hard part for the industry: Keeping the momentum going to make the legal market more accessible to those harmed by the War on Drugs. Why it matters: A controversial ballot measure campaign turned Massachusetts into a testing ground for those seeking to repeal state laws legalizing cannabis sales. Catch up quick: Supporters of the ballot measure, namely the interest group Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM) Action Inc., rang the alarm over reports of marijuana psychosis and impaired driving. Cannabis business owners, workers and consumers tallied the costs of a yes vote: an industry employing 27,000-plus people and bringing in $336 million in state and local tax revenue in fiscal 2026 alone. The latest: More than 1.6 million voters (nearly 76%) decided against Question 8 as of 7am Wednesday, when 80% of the votes were counted. The Associated Press declared Question 8 dead just before midnight, hours after cannabis industry leaders claimed victory.
