Special Town Election June 22 on Waterfield Lot Proposal
On Tuesday, June 22, Winchester will hold a special election to determine whether to go ahead with a development proposal for the Waterfield parking lot, located off Waterfield Road between the commuter rail station and Church Street (behind the block of stores that includes Anderson Group Realty, D'Agostino's, La Patisserie, and A Tavola). The proposal is the culmination of a decade-long process and was approved by a wide margin (118–46) by Town Meeting, but opponents are invoking a state law that permits holding a referendum to override a vote by Town Meeting.
