  • "Conservation and Land Use Planning with Mass. Chapter 61 Laws"
  • "Losing Ground: At What Cost?" (3rd edition) This report sounds the alarm: development in the Commonwealth is now occurring at the rate of 40 acres each day! And when you factor-in the "hidden" impacts of additional roads and sections of building lots which appear un-developed, the figure is an even more alarming: 78 acres per day.

    It is no surprise that Massachusetts ranks third in the nation in population density.

    We strongly recommend that you check out this very accessible, concise and important report. The maps and graphics clearly reveal that sprawl and buildout is steadily moving towards us, both from the south straight up the Connecticut River Valley, and from the east in a wide swath that extends far west of Rte. 495.
