Bill Summary

Relative to prevailing wages for certain affordable housing projects in the town of Wayland. Labor and Workforce Development. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill exempts the town of Wayland from the prevailing wage requirements of Massachusetts law (sections 26 to 27H of chapter 149 of the General Laws) for affordable housing-related projects estimated to cost $30,000 or less. The prevailing wage is the minimum hourly rate that must be paid to workers on certain public construction projects. By exempting these smaller affordable housing projects, the town of Wayland can potentially reduce the costs associated with these projects.
