Why Should we stop MUPUD?

Highlights from Auguest 2024 public hearing meeting:

Quote #1“ There is NOTHING binding in what Zom is giving you - it is all marketing materials.” NONE of it is necessarily what will be built”

Quote #2. “If this board allows Simon to sell off its property in bits and pieces, the current state of the South Shore Plaza almost certainly will not improve - they are talking about a 0.01% increase in the customer base at the South Shore Plaza being a catalyst for 1.6M Square Feet of retail space. That doesn't make sense on any planet.”

There is so much more. We suggest watching our NBCA Board Member Steve Sciasca at Last Planning Board Meeting. (Start at 2:33) His thorough examination of the Simon Mall Property and its impact on Braintree and our tax base - their lack of maintenance and upkeep while the assessed value deteriorates and customers flock to other local shopping areas to avoid crime, etc - ultimately spending money in other shopping areas instead of Braintree impacting other areas including gas and meal tax. The lack of upkeep is negatively impacting our community from a revenue perspective. We are missing out on significant tax revenue. YET Simon enjoys high earnings- Billions!! This is a must-see for every resident of Braintree. As many know, Steve was a District 2 Councilor, a Highly Educated and well-respected business owner, and a Yale Graduate.
