The Healey administration has unveiled a plan to utilize over 450 acres of state-owned land, potentially creating 3,500 new housing units. This initiative aims to address the escalating housing costs that Massachusetts residents face. By making old court buildings, hospitals, and other properties available for development, the state hopes to provide much-needed affordable housing options. The plan includes 17 sites to be offered to developers within the next year. As the state’s housing crisis grows, Gov. Healey emphasizes this initiative as crucial for supporting families and workers.
"These 450 acres will be turned into thousands of new homes that families, seniors and workers can actually afford," Healey said in a statement about the new properties being added to the initiative.
"The announcement comes as Massachusetts residents continue to feel the burden of exorbitant housing costs and as Gov. Maura Healey gears up for what promises to be a bruising reelection campaign."
