Marriage-minded Marblehead Town Meeting has approved a plan to allow multi-family housing development using a golf course to comply with the MBTA Community Act, a law signed by former Gov. Charlie Baker in 2021. The proposal includes a plan that would direct the majority of the overlay district across the Tedesco Country Club and adjacent parking lot, which could support 780 housing units, but there is no indication the Country Club has any plans to sell the property. The remaining overlay district is on Broughton Road where a 40B development is already being planned outside of the Community Act. The state law requires that cities and towns create zoning districts where development could occur but does not specify whether the housing development will occur. The ultimate compliance proposal passed 881 to 82, which has been pre-approved by the state as being acceptable to avoid being out of compliance.
