LOWELL New housing in Lowell is moving away from a car-centric transportation model, local developer Peter Marlowe said in building documents for his apartment and affordable housing project planned for the densely populated and high-traffic West Sixth St. corridor of the city’s Centralville neighborhood. His project received conditional approval from the Planning Board during its Monday night meeting.
A tale of two communities’ proposed housing developments, one embraced and the other contested. That description would seem to match the difference in residents’ and municipal officials’ attitudes in Lowell and Dracut.
LOWELL The Planning Board unanimously approved a large-scale project to develop the former Saint Louis Elementary School and parish campus located in the heart of the lower Centralville neighborhood during its Jan. 4 meeting at City Hall.
LOWELL After a three-and-half-hour discussion on accessory dwelling units, something every city councilor at Monday night’s special meeting could unanimously agree to was the motion to adjourn. It was a well-deserved break after a night of vigorous debate crafting an ordinance to equitably increase the city’s housing units.
LOWELL More than one year ago, City Councilor John Drinkwater submitted a motion requesting the Department of Planning and Development draft an accessory dwelling unit ordinance. It will finally get a public hearing at the council’s Tuesday night meeting and may come to a historic or histrionic vote.
