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 law allows the city to build a new branch of the Boston Public Library inside an affordable housing complex in the West End without following standard rules for public construction contracts. The project will be developed by a private company chosen by the Mayor's Office of Housing through a competitive bidding process. While most construction steps are exempt from usual legal requirements, the final design and building plans must still be approved by the city council. The goal is to create a shared space that combines library services with low-cost housing for residents.
