495/MetroWest Regional Compact Development and Preservation Priorities
The Commonwealth has a new framework for focusing investments west of Boston. The I-495 and I-90 corridors have experienced dramatic change over the past 40 years. Rapid population and job growth has been accompanied by longer commutes, greater need for workforce housing, increasing infrastructure demands, and stressed environmental resources.
