MARLBOROUGH Developers of a proposed 140-unit apartment complex at the former McGee Farm property on Boston Post Road East (Rte. 20) pledged $200,000 to study, design and construct a traffic light at the entrance of the facility.

Waypoint Residential, a Stamford, Connecticut-based development company, is seeking a special permit to build a three-building apartment complex at the site. The company initially planned to build a 188-unit, four-building development, but scaled back its proposal in response to concerns from neighbors and city leaders.
