The Worcester City Council voted to make the city's inclusionary zoning policy into an ordinance on Tuesday. Any zoning applications for multifamily apartments projects submitted after that day –- May 9 – will be subject to the ordinance.
The Worcester City Council approved the city manager’s recommended inclusionary zoning plan after voting down the Standing Committee on Economic Development’s proposed plan at Wednesday’s council meeting.
The city unveiled a proposed ordinance in September that leaders have said tried to balance incentivizing developers while also meeting the affordable housing needs of residents.
