The Towns of Andover, Tewksbury, and Wilmington are in the process of developing a form-based code (FBC) for the Interstate 93 Tri-Town Interchange Development Area. The FBC will guide the thoughtful development of approximately 700 acres of land around the I-93 Lowell Junction Interchange within the three towns. Form-based codes typically include recommendations on building height, massing, setbacks and set parameters for streets and streetscape. For Tri-Town, the FBC will set a design framework, goals and objectives for future development that correspond to the Unified Development Vision that was prepared last year.

Study Area Map Note: the Red boundary line denotes the Study Area context and the Yellow dashed boundary line denotes the approximate location of the area designated for the Form-Based Code.

Your involvement will be an important part of the process as we seek to better understand key issues associated with the project’s objectives and learn more about the project’s needs and the existing planning efforts that have been completed by the Commonwealth, three Towns and Regional Planning Agencies.

The fifteen month planning process will include extensive community outreach and participation including stakeholder interviews, design charrettes, and public meetings to present the draft and final FBC. We hope to see you at one of our upcoming public events.
