H 4152 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act granting the city of Medford the authority to require the adoption of institutional master plans subject to the review and approval by the municipality

HD 4731 would allow Medford to require large institutions (such as hospitals or universities) to create long-term development plans for their properties. The city would review and approve these plans before they take effect. This directly affects Medford's local government and institutions owning significant properties within the city. The bill applies only to Medford and does not change state-level planning regulations.
