Matt Connolly, a partner in Nutter’s Real Estate Department, explained the benefits of a streamlined permitting process in Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly. The article, “More than 20 amicus briefs filed in MBTA Communities Act challenge,” noted that Matt filed a brief on behalf of the Massachusetts Housing and Shelter Alliance. The brief discussed Mecklenburg County in North Carolina as an example of an area that saw a large population growth over a 10-year period while seeing a small decrease in homelessness, contrary to expectations.
