Last night, the Town of Westwood's Planning Board voted to approve an amendment to the Master Plan Special Permit for Westwood Station. This amendment involved an extensive review and revision of the original Master Plan Special Permit to permit evolutions in the design of Westwood Station which have occurred since the Master Plan was originally approved last year. Now the Planning Board will focus attention on the site plan review as they consider granting Environmental Impact Design Review (EIDR) approval for Phase 1B of the proposed development.

The Planning Board meets again on December 1 at 7:30pm.

Approval of the amendment is a significant step towards final approvals that are necessary to finalize funding and begin the "vertical" construction phase of the project.

Developer presentations related to the approved amendment can be downloaded from the town website here and here.  read more »
