MARLBOROUGH Developers of a proposed 140-unit apartment complex at the former McGee Farm property on Boston Post Road East (Rte. 20) pledged $200,000 to study, design and construct a traffic light at the entrance of the facility.
But members of the City Council’s Urban Affairs Committee continued to stress they cannot support the project without a guarantee from the state that a traffic light will be installed.
Waypoint Residential, a Stamford, Connecticut-based development company, is seeking a special permit to build a three-building apartment complex at the site. The company initially planned to build a 188-unit, four-building development, but scaled back its proposal in response to concerns from neighbors and city leaders.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is meeting with Donald Trump in Florida today to smooth things over, but that’s just one of the issues he’s trying to fix. He’s also attempting to keep House Republicans from attacking each other publicly after a contentious impeachment vote and mend relationships with donors after businesses hit pause on their corporate PACs over the GOP’s anti-certification vote.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said House Democrats are getting ready for the potential use of reconciliation if they cannot get bipartisan support on Biden’s Covid-19 economic rescue package.

I’m very proud of our committees who have been diligently working on coronavirus relief legislation as a basis for reconciliation should that be needed. We will pass a reconciliation bill … we will pass a reconciliation bill, if we need it. We would hope that we would have bipartisan cooperation to meet the needs of the American people, Pelosi said. We would hope that but we’re not taking any tools off the table should they not.

The Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee is holding a hearing now to examine the nominations of Marcia Fudge to be secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and Cecilia Rouse to be chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers.
Fudge has represented Ohio s 11th Congressional District since 2008. The congresswoman served on a number of committees, including the House Administration, Agriculture, and Education and Labor committees. She previously chaired the Congressional Black Caucus. In 2018, Fudge publicly weighed a bid against Nancy Pelosi for speaker of the House, but ultimately threw her support behind Pelosi, who won reelection.
