An Act relative to the expansion of a branch of the Boston Public Library within an affordable housing development in the West End Neighborhood of the downtown sections of the city of Boston

This bill creates an exception to standard city procurement laws for a specific project in Boston's West End that combines affordable housing with a new Boston Public Library branch. It allows the Mayor's Office of Housing to select a developer through a competitive proposal process without being bound by usual rules for public construction contracts. The legislation applies only to this particular redevelopment of a city-owned parcel and does not change how other public projects are handled.
