Comment period extended for proposed 40B
By Canton CitizenState Senator Brian A. Joyce has announced that the Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency (MassHousing) has extended the period to comment on the proposed 40B development on Brush Hill Road, located on the Milton-Canton line. The public will now have until June 9 to outline their concerns.

The developer of the property, Texas-based Mill Creek Residential Trust, is seeking to build 276 apartments on a 22-acre parcel near the Fuller Village senior independent living community. Senator Joyce, who serves as vice president of the Fuller Village board of directors, has voiced his opposition to the project, which he called too large and too dense for the site in question.
“It would impact both Milton and Canton,” Joyce told the Citizen in February. “It would have a seriously adverse impact on an area of critical environmental concern, and the infrastructure is just not there to support a project with this level of density.”
In a recent news release, Joyce indicated that the decision to extend the comment period “illustrates how complex this issue is and how important it is for the town to have adequate time to review the application and to fully weigh the potential environmental and historical impacts of the proposed development.”
“I’m thankful that MassHousing was willing to listen to the concerns raised by town officials and residents and have provided the time for all viewpoints to be heard,” he said.
Calls placed to the Mill Creek office in Boston have not been returned.
