Boston's Roxbury Parcel 3, a 7.7-acre city-owned site, is at the center of a debate between building a new high school and housing/lab space. The Boston Planning & Development Agency reversed its prior plan to develop affordable housing and commercial labs, opting instead for Madison Park Technical Vocational High School. Community groups and developers argue the shift undermines long-standing neighborhood development goals.
