Town Center is a 192-acre area surrounding City Hall. The Town Center Vision & Plan establishes a phased redevelopment of the area, including adding sidewalks, trails, and other transportation improvements as well as improvements to the pond behind City Hall to transform it into Creekside Park – a community gathering space to anchor the Town Center and set it apart from other downtowns.
In 2022, City Council approved the Town Center zoning districts to guide the private sector redevelopment; finalized a conceptual plan and authorized engineering for Creekside Park; celebrated Boston Scientific's announcement of $62.5 million investment to build a state-of-the-art research and logistics facility in Town Center; approved zoning for Medley, a $350 million premiere development that will anchor the Town Center with unique residential, retail, and entertainment offerings.
The Town Center Vision and Plan establishes the plan for a phased redevelopment of the Town Center area; ways to improve mobility and create connections through sidewalks, trails, and other transportation improvements; and utilization of Creekside Park to anchor the Town Center and set it apart from other downtowns. Council reached consensus to continue this strategic initiative in 2023. Major goals for 2023 include continue engineering, right-of-way acquisition, and construction of infrastructure and other improvements on City-owned land to spur and encourage continued desired redevelopment and continue engaging current landowners and private investors to promote projects to complement the City’s investments.
