"Milton Loses State Grant Over Rejected MBTA Housing Plan"

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey's administration has withdrawn a $140,800 grant for seawall improvements from Milton after the town rejected the MBTA Communities Act zoning plan, putting it in violation of state law. The plan, which would have allowed for over 2,400 new housing units, was voted down by the town, leading to the loss of significant grant funding and a competitive disadvantage for future grants. The administration hopes to work with Milton on a new plan to bring the town into compliance with the law.
