Summary
MCRT Investments' 8-story, 321-unit proposal for 42 Beale Street was continued to the Nov. 19 Planning Board agenda at the applicant nd attorney's request to address neighborhood concerns and planning peer-review issues.
The Quincy Planning Board on Aug. 6 continued the public hearing for a proposal by MCRT Investments LLC to construct an eight-story, 321-unit multifamily building at 42 Beale Street (including portions of Pitts Avenue and 16 Old Colony Avenue). Attorney Fleming submitted a written request to continue the hearing to Nov. 19 so the applicant could review neighborhood feedback and discuss revisions with the Planning Department.
