Four new multifamily projects advanced at the Boston Planning & Development Agency board of directors’ August meeting Thursday evening.
The projects total 135 units – 93 condominiums and 43 apartments, many of which will be designated affordable.
The board also approved a new policy asking developers of projects over 20,000 square feet in size to voluntarily disclose the participation of women- and minority-owned businesses in different phases of the project along with efforts developers and construction companies are taking to diversify their workforces. City officials say they hope the effort will lead more companies to think harder about their diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, and the data collected will help identify areas where additional resources need to be developed.
