Yesterday, the city of Somerville conducted a workshop session at Build Boston, the Boston Society of Architects’ annual convention and trade show. The workshop detailed the city’s extensive efforts to try to maximize the benefits to be derived from the extension of MBTA Green Line service to Somerville. Somerville has been actively studying the possible implications of the Green Line from every conceivable angle, from economic development to preventing displacement to maintaining affordable housing.
