Adopted
The City Council's matter, introduced May 11, 2026 and referred May 13, 2026, calls for a temporary pause on new vertical construction at White Stadium in Franklin Park. The project is valued around $325 million, with a Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision expected within about 130 days. The move would limit risk while litigation proceeds, and address supplier and workforce diversity concerns.
