The controversial project – Neponset Wharf – proposed for the Port Norfolk neighborhood, could be sent back to the drawing board. After much pushback from the neighborhood with size and scale being the biggest concern, City Point Capital may have to come up with yet another plan.
City Point Capital have made adjustments to the initial proposal during the process. Back in May, City Point Capital changed the proposal for the new development scaling down 170 condos to 96 condos. Parking spaces have also gone down from 185 to 170 total spots.
But residents of the neighborhood are still concerned and submitted testimony to the Boston Planning and Development Agency which makes the final approval. Concerns range from height, size and traffic.
According to the Dorchester Reporter, many local elected officials believe the only solution is for the developer to go back to the drawing board.
