HD 3208 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act spurring intelligent development on MBTA property

HD 3208 creates a tax credit for taxpayers developing air rights above MBTA parking areas, allowing them to reduce state taxes by up to $50 million annually for qualifying projects. It directly affects developers and property owners working with the MBTA on such developments. The bill also establishes the MBTA Capital Projects Fund, requiring all revenue from air rights leases on MBTA property to be deposited into this fund for use on MBTA capital projects. Funds in the account can be carried forward for future projects, with annual reporting to legislative committees.
