Boston Reviews Tax Break to Restart 3 Stalled Allston-Brighton Projects

Boston Planning Department staff held a virtual meeting Monday on possible Chapter 121B tax abatements for three previously approved projects: Allston Yards Building D, 22-24 Pratt Street, and 83 Leo M. Birmingham Parkway. The city says time-limited tax relief would help the projects begin construction within the next year and add housing, including income-restricted units. No changes to the projects are proposed, though the Pratt Street application includes a proposed 50% IDP buyout, and public comment on each application stays open through October 14.
