Urban Affairs Committee Meeting - November 10, 2026

The Marlborough Urban Affairs Committee met on November 10, 2026, to review a proposed master concept plan and development agreement for the mixed-use campus owned by BH Group TCAM Owner LLC and BH Group TCAM Owner 2 LLC, affiliates of Greatland Realty Partners. The campus includes BJ’s, Hologic, and the Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab, which is under construction. The proposal covers future campus development, with later phases subject to site-plan review; the draft allows phasing to respond to market conditions. The developer cited a fiscal-impact study projecting a $1.66 million net benefit in the first year of full buildout, excluding the crime lab’s separate tax-increment financing payments. The draft also provides for at least 12% affordable housing and ongoing transportation monitoring and mitigation.

Members discussed revisions to the draft, including clarifying traffic-mitigation language, adding good-faith efforts to work with the MWRTA on bus stops, and possible per-unit contributions of $250 for water and wastewater infrastructure (about $100,000 for 400 units) and $150 for open space (about $60,000). These additional contributions were discussed but not finalized. The committee took no vote on the plan or agreement; it requested a revised draft incorporating the discussion for further review, potentially at its November 19 meeting. No procurement award or bid approval was identified.
