City Council discusses potential mixed-use proposals for West Medford Square

The Medford City Council Planning and Permitting Committee convened on April 9, 2025, to discuss the ongoing development of mixed-use districts, with a particular focus on West Medford Square. The meeting emphasized that the discussions are preliminary and that the proposals presented are not finalized.

Committee members reviewed the initial proposal for West Medford Square, highlighting the importance of community feedback. City staff, council members, and the public were encouraged to provide comments to help shape the proposal. The committee stressed that the examples shown during the meeting were illustrative, aimed at exploring potential opportunities in the area rather than concrete plans.
