WEYMOUTH − The mayor’s veto has erased the town council’s unanimous decision to rezone three properties south of The Landing into a special zoning district designed to encourage the redevelopment of blighted buildings. The 30-day period for the council to respond to the veto has come and gone.
The owners of one of the properties, a 1-acre parcel at Washington and Vine streets, were “extremely disappointed” by Mayor Robert Hedlund’s veto, their attorney Gregory Galvin said Thursday.
Developers Christopher Bruce and Jason Kennedy sought to rezone their property, as well as the neighboring Union Towers and The Bicycle Link properties, to the town’s Village Center Overlay District.
While the developers didn’t have detailed plans for their property, they revealed in November the possibility of building three commercial spaces and as many as 50 apartments there.
