Boyce Rezoning Approved After contentious council vote
Winchester Council approved rezoning for William Boyce's lot at Amherst Street and Rt 37 from residential to commercial by a seven to six margin after over an hour of debate. The decision followed a year of area study and public concerns about spot zoning and potential domino effects on nearby properties. Residents and historic preservation representatives opposed the broader commercial change, while Boyce urged the commercial zoning to proceed.
