Trust staff said site work and a foundational/site work permit are underway for a 60‑unit 40B on Nahant Street; staff noted MassWorks and other funding tied to housing development can unlock infrastructure improvements while urging case‑by‑case review of future 40B proposals even if the town reaches a 10% SHI threshold.

Trust members discussed Richmond Vista and 40B rules that currently exclude some units from the Subsidized Housing Inventory; staff said adding one rental-designated affordable unit could return the development to the SHI and estimated a trust contribution in the five-figure range might secure a deed restriction to accomplish that.

The Wakefield Housing Trust approved sending an amendment to its inclusionary zoning bylaw to the town-meeting warrant that would round fractional affordable-unit requirements up and delegate fee-calculation details to a trust policy; staff may work with counsel on nonmaterial edits prior to filing.
