Gloucester is holding a special election on April 24, 2025, to vote on a new zoning plan that allows residents more housing options. The plan, known as the Multi-Family Overlay District (MFOD), was unanimously approved by the City Council in October 2024 to comply with the MBTA Communities Act (3A). This state law requires certain municipalities to establish areas where multi-family housing is permitted.
Key points about the special election:
*** The voter registration deadline is April 14, 2025.
*** Early voting will happen! The City Council will approve early voting dates on March 11.
*** Mail-in ballot applications are available for those who may be traveling during April vacation week.
*** The election aims to address housing affordability issues in Gloucester, as young people, seniors, and public service employees struggle to afford living in the area.
Voting "YES" will move Gloucester forward and avoid implications of non-compliance for the city.
