In November 2012, Boston City Properties described Governor Deval Patrick’s plan to encourage production of 10,000 multifamily homes each year through 2020. Retaining young professionals was one of the stated goals.
The account described financial incentives for communities accommodating development densities of eight multifamily homes per acre or four single-family units per acre. Those figures describe the historical plan; they are not a statement of present zoning permission for a parcel or proof that the production target was reached.
Historical account attributed to the original Boston City Properties article. Underlying records and later outcomes have not been freshly verified.
