Wicked Local
The issue of what to do with the Scituate Harbor Community Building, also known as the the former Pier 44 building, was addressed at the Jan. 19 Select Board meeting.
The waterfront property located at the harbor has been in limbo for years.
Purchased with MBTA mitigation funds for the Greenbush line, the property is confined by specific restrictions, which limits how it can be used.

“The town needs to be aware that the property was purchased with MBTA mitigation funds for the Greenbush Line. Whatever is done at the site is restricted to public purpose of open space and land preservation for outdoor recreation by and education of the general public,” Town Administrator Jim Boudreau said.
