Boxborough Housing Board holds forum on 2027 production plan
Housing Production Forum · Meeting of August 25, 2026
Boxborough Housing Board forum spotlights 72 Stowe Road's future ahead of a 2027 plan update. Staffer Ian walked roughly a dozen residents through Chapter 40B, area median income and "missing middle" housing before opening six engagement posters, telling the room Boxborough sits above the state's 10 percent Subsidized Housing Inventory threshold but could not say by how many units when resident Cindy pressed him, saying only, "I don't have the answer." Zoom participant Rich urged preserving the historic house on the town-owned Stowe Road parcel and capping any development at "maybe around 15" units given water constraints, while resident Frank warned the structure may carry mold and structural damage. No policy votes were taken; members voted unanimously to adjourn after public comment.
