Overview: The Chatham Zoning Board meeting was dominated by an extensive discussion of a proposed affordable housing project at 0 and Main Street, which has sparked significant concern among local residents. The proposed development, set to include 48 dwelling units in nine structures under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 40B, drew considerable public attention due to its scale, height, and potential impact on the town’s character. The project aims to contribute to affordable housing, with 25% of the apartments deed-restricted at 80% of the area median income, yet faces opposition due to its deviation from local zoning norms.
