Bureau lauds plan for Metro Green project

The Advocate - Bureau lauds plan for Metro Green project: "The city Land Use Bureau praised a plan to build 48 units of affordable housing next to the Stamford train station in what would become the state's largest 'green' mixed-use development.

In a written assessment of the Metro Green development plan by W&M Properties and housing developer Jonathan Rose Companies, Land Use Bureau Chief said it is unique because it combines several features the city should want - transit-oriented development, on-site affordable housing at nearly double the amount required, consistency with the city's Master Plan and environmentally sensitive design.
