Opposition to Elm Place project coalesces in Swampscott
Leigh Blander / Correspondent
Two new grass-roots groups are fighting a proposed five-story, 128-unit affordable housing project on Elm Place, saying the apartment complex is simply too big for the neighborhood and the town.
“It’s a behemoth,” said Anne Driscoll, chair of the Swampscott for Equity Association. “It’s a $60 million project and we re the ones that will be living with it. We need to slow down the process and take a breath. Everything has been happening at lightning speed.”
Driscoll’s group is calling for an independent study of the project and is hiring an attorney.
