Sara Jane Shanahan and Wyatt Shea published in Banker & Tradesman on the MBTA Communities Act

Sara Jane Shanahan, managing partner, and Wyatt Shea, Real Estate paralegal, were published in Banker & Tradesman on February 3rd, 2025. Their article, “Full Speed Ahead? Where the MBTA Communities Law Stands,” discusses the MBTA Communities Act, which was established in response to the Massachusetts housing crisis. Sara and Wyatt also wrote about this subject for our Real Estate Blog in an article titled “MBTA Communities Act: Next Steps.”

From the Banker & Tradesman article:

“On Jan. 8, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court upheld the MBTA Communities law on constitutional grounds, but deemed the guidelines promulgated by the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities ineffective and unenforceable because they were not promulgated in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act.”
