ZBA approves plans for 65 Norman St. O n Monday night, the Zoning Board of Appeals voted to approve plans for a 396unit residential building at 65 Norman St. “Over the past few years the Village has become one of the hottest neighborhoods north of Boston,” said Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “We have created a recreational entertainment district, boating, biking, rock climbing, axe throwing, basketball, hockey soccer, along with Village Fest, Nightshift, Bone Up, Short Path Distillery, Village Bar and Grill, all having outdoor dining. Now we are transforming an old, industrial wasteland and creating a unique residential community, bringing hundreds of residents to take advantage of this unmatched area.” The new state-of-the-art building will consist of 81 studios, 181 one-bedrooms and 134 two-bedrooms and will also have amenities, such as an outdoor pool area. There will also be 59 affordable units within the development to add to other affordable units being built in Everett, including St. Theresa’s and the proposed veteran’s housing at Pope John. The new development will replace the blighted and underutilized property that held freight containers. In addition to the residential units, the development will also create open space where containers now exist, a pocket park and a number of sitting areas. “This development will provide additional public access for Everett resident to our revitalized waterfront and Riverwalk,” said DeMaria. “I am truly excited not only for this development but for all the future investment that I know will come following this pioneering project. I am so happy to see so much private investment in the area after we have opened up our waterfront.” The goal is to transform the area into a vibrant, active neighborhood with recreational activities, outdoor restaurants, breweries and art galleries for current and new residents and the public.
