Residents' Concerns

- The developer originally wanted to propose a 40 foot high building. But the Planning Directory took the developer to Framingham to show examples of commercial on the bottom. Developer submitted 60 foot tall proposal. (Source: Planning Board meeting.)

- Hanscom developers plan to build a lot of hangers. Will the additional traffic go to Hanscom via Hartwell ave?
