Selectmen vote against taking Berry Street land by eminent domain
“he selectmen voted unanimously Monday night to recommend against attempting to take by eminent domain the Berry Street land where a developer has approval to construct 196 apartments.
The developer, North Andover Holdings LLC, applied for permission to build the apartments under Chapter 40B, the state’s “anti-snob” zoning law. Chapter 40B exempts developers from local zoning regulations if at least 25 percent of the homes they intend to build are set aside for people earning below-average incomes.”
