POSTPONED: Wellesley workshop on 45-acre MassBay property’s future
The town announced on Nov. 26 that this meeting would be postponed due to Wellesley considering legal action against the state.
The town of Wellesley has scheduled a public workshop for Monday, Dec. 8 (6:30-9:30 pm) at the high school cafeteria focused on the future of 45 acres of MassBay Community College property—5 acres of parking lot and 40 of forest abutting Centennial Reservation.
The state has deemed the MassBay property as surplus and ripe for redevelopment under its Affordable Homes Act; MassBay stands to benefit from the sale of the property, which could partially fund campus upgrades, such as new cybersecurity and recreation facilities.
The in-person-only visioning study meeting will include briefings on the state program and the site, and seek public input on housing needs and design preferences. The town is working with three consulting firms on the effort, and seeks to provide the state with input ahead of the Commonwealth issuing a request for proposals to developers next year.
