Woburn City Council Approves Zoning Change to Battle March Village Project

The City Council voted to approve a zoning change that could end up reducing the size of the proposed Battle March Village project in West Woburn. The vote passed on a 6-3 tally Wednesday evening.

The plot of land in the Cambridge Street area was re-zoned from a single-family homes classification to that of a townhouses designation.

A zoned Business Highway in the area was not re-zoned, leaving the project’s developer with 17,000 less square feet of land to work with.

The Battle March Project’s developer, Melanson Development, originally eyed the construction of 22 townhouses, now only 18 can be built.

Melanson will still required to acquire a special permit to build the townhouses.
