The Bourne Planning Board has approved a change to a development under construction on Main Street in Buzzards Bay. The board gave the green light to plans for the buildingâs first floor to become a disabled-accessible apartment instead of office space.
The complex is being built at 227 Main Street, which neighbors Betty Annâs Dairy Freeze. The original proposal was to convert a five-bedroom home into office space on the first floor and a pair of two-bedroom apartments on the second floor.
Plans for the property have changed, and instead of office space on the first floor, the property owner, James McLaughlin of West Bridgewater, has decided to install a disabled-accessible apartment. Zachary Basinski of Bracken Engineering went before the planning board during its remote meeting on April 22 to explain the desired change.
