The buildings at 1060 and 1072 Main Street in Millis, the site of the former Budabing’s 50’s Café’ and other businesses, have been cleared.
The property is owned by Paul McGovern of 1060 Main St. Realty, LLC, in Dover, who has proposed a “24-unit (6 affordable) affordable apartment building with one commercial space” on the 1.01 acre property at the corner of Main and Pleasant Streets.
According to Zoning Board of Appeals documents, the proposed rental property will have four floors (but will look to have only three). Residential units will include four one-bedrooms, 16 two-bedrooms, and four three-bedroom units, and 25% of the units will be considered “affordable housing.” It will include 2,600 square feet of commercial space, and 49 parking spaces.
