RT @MattPStout: .@maura_healey reacts to @andrewnbrinker story on Middleborough resisting state’s new multifamily housing law. "Opting out is not an option," Healey said. "We’ve got to do this across the state. This administration . . . is really going to lean in here." https://t.co/qojVftoSut

Most towns are going along with the state’s new multifamily housing law. Not Middleborough.

The South Coast town is emerging as an early holdout against a new law requiring communities served by the MBTA to zone for more dense housing.
