Bill Summary

Relative to the calculation of area median income in municipalities with a population over 100,000 residents. Community Development and Small Businesses.

AI Summary

This bill requires the calculation of area median income in municipalities with a population over 100,000 to be based on the specific zip code where the dwelling unit, housing, or project is located, rather than using the overall areawide median income. This change is made across various chapters of the Massachusetts General Laws related to community development, affordable housing, and residential mortgages. The intent is to adjust the median income used for these programs to better reflect the economic conditions of the particular neighborhood or zip code, rather than the broader city or region.
