The news is out that MassHousing approved both 40B project applications that were applied for in the spring. 

The projects, which include 250 units at the Mill site downtown and 226 units at 61 Waverly Street, received the green light to submit an application to Ashland’s local Zoning Board of Appeals. 

Although the developer at 61 Waverly has yet to submit an application, the 10-60 Main Street Mill site has now officially started their process. Read below for more information and next steps.

The Ashland Zoning Board of Appeals will hold a Public Hearing on Tuesday, Jan. 7, at 7 PM, in the second floor Select Board Hearing Room, Ashland Town Hall, 101 Main St., Ashland. This Public Hearing can also be joined via Zoom video conference.
