The Wareham Redevelopment Authority voted at their April 29 meeting to ask that the rezoning of Wareham Village be directed to further study at the May 8 Town Meeting.
The rezoning has been in the works since summer 2020, and was spearheaded by the Wareham Redevelopment Authority member Richard Swenson.
The changes are meant to foster redevelopment of the village while preserving its character and encouraging small business uses through mixed-use zoning.
Mixed use zoning allows a variety of uses, including retail, residential, office, entertainment, and culture to fit together in a single environment. Outdoor space including plazas and parks are also incorporated.
