The approved project will convert part of the existing building at 127 Mechanic St. into a spray booth and body shop without expanding the building footprint. The applicants must meet environmental and other departmental requirements before proceeding. The Board recommended traffic studies at four intersections and supported further analysis of whether water, wastewater, stormwater, retail, childcare, healthcare, and other services can support upcoming multifamily development.
