835-847 West Main Street multi-story housing (BAR #25-0095)

Description

Revised 8-story apartment building with a Westhaven-to-West Main pedestrian promenade; heavy resident opposition to remaining height.

Impact summary

Could bring hundreds of housing units near Westhaven — residents want shadow studies and a real say in the Memory Walk before any approval.
