Nobscot housing plan shrinks again amid rezoning

A controversial housing proposal in Framingham's Nobscot neighborhood is continuing to shrink as city officials move closer to putting a rezoning request before the full City Council. The proposal from Waltham-based J & Co. calls for a residential development on around 30 acres near Edmands and Edgell roads on the north side of Framingham. The developer is seeking a zoning change that would allow higher density residential development on the property. An earlier version presented in February called for 416 units, including townhomes and multifamily buildings, but councilors said during a Nov. 9 Planning and Zoning Subcommittee meeting that the project's size has since been reduced to between 325 and 350 units with the final number still being discussed. When the property was considered for inclusion in the city's MBTA Communities zoning district in 2024, proposals contemplated the potential for more than 1,000 units. The parcel was ultimately excluded from the city's final MBTA zoning map. Since then, the scale of the development has continued to shrink amid opposition from residents. Councilors would like proposal to go before full council During the meeting, District 6 Councilor Phil Ottaviani said that he would like to see this proposal go before the

Quincy OKs $3M to turn former college building into housing | Exclusive

Quincy has approved $3 million to turn a former Eastern Nazarene College building into 57 affordable apartments for people 55 and older. The Quincy Housing Authority Development Corp. ‒ the nonprofit arm of the Quincy Housing Authority ‒ requested the money from the city's Affordable Housing Trust Committee, which unanimously approved the request Nov. 10. The development corporation, which is buying the 27-acre campus for $21 million , will use the $3 million to completely renovate the Young Apartments, an existing structure on the campus, into 57 units of affordable housing for people ages 55 and older, James Marathas, executive director of the housing authority, told the committee during its previous meeting on Oct. 27. Marathas said the sale is scheduled to close Dec. 15, but crews are already on site to make repairs on the property and empty all the contents ENC left behind. He said he anticipates full construction will start the same day as the closing and that units will be ready for residents by fall 2027. How will the Young Apartments at ENC be renovated? The development corporation will use the money to upgrade kitchens, bathrooms, countertops, floors, heating systems and more in the one-bedroom units,
