Description:
Staff of the Planning Department will be holding a public meeting regarding the possibility of providing a tax abatement for three projects in Allston: Allston Yards building D, 22-24 Pratt Street, and 83 Leo M. Birmingham Parkway, to allow these projects to begin construction in the next year and add critically needed housing. The City of Boston is considering time-limited tax relief for some previously approved development projects that will create a significant amount of housing, income-restricted units, and climate resilient development. Staff will go over the tax relief proposal and answer any questions. No changes to the projects are being proposed at this time.* Please review the approved project proposals and submit comments regarding the possibility of financial relief here.
Please note that all three projects will be presented at this meeting. The Agenda is as follows:
