State Supreme Court affirms MBTA Communities Act
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court upheld the constitutionality of the MBTA Communities Act, a law requiring municipalities served by the transit system to allow more multifamily housing. The ruling dismissed legal challenges from several towns, including Marshfield, which argued the law imposed unfunded mandates and strained local infrastructure. This decision affirms the state's authority to enforce the housing law as part of efforts to address the statewide housing shortage.
