cap, paving the way for substantially more
housing at the former military base.
Mazzarella said Devens was always
supposed to have more housing. He said
he hopes the site can help provide housing
to the state's homeless population or help
refugees who need a place to live.
Delorier said she's hopeful the housing
cap will be lied. But housing isn't the
only aspect MassDevelopment wants to
grow. Projects like Pathway Devens are
creating huge campuses on site, with a
focus on attracting technology companies
and providing them with open space,
recreational activities, and socializing
at a meeting space called the Canteen.
Sterling Street Brewery of Clinton opened
a taproom inside the Canteen in May, and
MassDevelopment is in talks with other
restaurants to bring more options to the
former base.
"We've built this great life science and
biomanufacturing hub, but we're adding
amenities that these young workers need,
like a good restaurant scene," Arvidson said.
"We're working on that part of it now. It's
critical."
