Developers in the town of Watertown will now be required to hold Site Plan Review meetings to allow nearby residents the opportunity to voice their opinions about new developments. Although Residents in West Watertown have been holding similar meetings for years, one councilman was quoted on Watertown’s edition of Wicked Local, saying, “it’s good to finally formalize these meetings. Good proposal.” Similar meetings are held in nearby Towns such as Needham and Newton to discuss newly developed office and retail buildings. You can imagine how busy this group may be with the abundance of Needham and Newton office space coming to the market in the next several years.
