The I-Cubed program would grant bonds for $15 million in infrastructure improvements around the site.
Developers of the proposed Chestnut Hill Square are looking for the neighboring Newton's cooperation in a state-funded program that would provide $15 million in infrastructure improvements to Route 9 and other nearby roadways. The Infrastructure Investment Incentive program, otherwise known as I-Cubed, involves the state issuing bonds to development projects that are eventually paid back through the sales and payroll taxes generated by the project. Representatives from the project's developer, New England Development, met with the Finance Committee Monday night to stress the importance of the bonds, and the need for the city's approval before moving forward with the application. "There is no way for us to do this project without having I-…

More than 80 citizens packed Newton City Hall last night for a public hearing on the proposed Chestnut Hill Square development. Along with several Newton aldermen and Planning Board members, they said they were worried about the project's effects on traffic and its overall design. "The Route 9 traffic experience is essentially a zoo during morning drive and afternoon drive," said Charles Shapiro, Ward 6 alderman. "How will that be any different?" New England Development has proposed the mixed-use project at 200-230 Boylston Street in Chestnut Hill, an 11-acre site near the …

Well, as the daughter of a Boston Firefighter (35 years) my objection would be that YOU MUST HAVE TWO ENTRANCES AND EXITS. There were businesses there before the fire and everyone was able to drive in and out onto Florence St. or Rte. 9 and there were no problems. I have been driving on those streets for over 50 years. God forbid there was another fire or any disaster, the cars would be in grid … more ›
