Description:
The City of Boston’s Development Impact Project Exactions policy, more commonly known as the “Linkage” policy, ensures that large-scale real estate development brings direct benefits to Boston’s residents in the form of affordable housing and workforce training. Currently, any commercial real estate development project requiring zoning relief that proposes to erect, enlarge or extend, or substantially rehabilitate a structure by over 100,000 square feet is required to pay a contribution to the Neighborhood Housing Trust for the creation and preservation of affordable housing, and to the Neighborhood Jobs Trust for job training and job readiness. Learn more about the Linkage Policy
The City of Boston recently commissioned a nexus/feasibility study to better understand how the City can increase the current fees, and recommendations were to increase the base linkage and to create a new rate applicable to lab uses. In order to do that, updates to the zoning definitions of the Zoning Code as well as to Article 80 must be put into effect. We are seeking general input from the public through the website and through a public meeting on January 11, 2023. The comment period has been extended from January 15 to February 1. Please submit comments by February 1, 2023.
Interpretation will be provided in Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Haitian Creole, and Cape Verdean Creole. Additional interpreting services and document translation services are available upon request at no cost to you. Please request interpreting services no later than 5 days before the meeting date. For translation or interpreting services, contact [email protected].
