Village at Grafton Woods gets final go-ahead from Planning Board

With grins all around, the Planning Board unanimously approved The Village at Grafton Woods, a transit-oriented, mixed-use development that started with the town acquiring former Grafton State Hospital land nearly two years ago.

GSX-ODG, which was awarded the 8-acre property at 8 Pine Street for $1,725,000 back in June 2020, will take about 36 months to complete the project once ground has been broken.

The project, located across the street from the commuter rail station, will have 317 apartment units in a 325,190 square-foot four-story building and a 11,340 square foot footprint, two-story retail village. Developers have said they hope to bring in locally owned restaurants and shops that would meet the needs of commuters, as well as national chains.

Twenty-five percent of the housing units, or a total of 79 units, will be restricted as affordable housing for income-eligible tenants. Housing units will include 50 studio units, 151 one-bedroom units and 115 two-bedroom units.

There will be a five-story parking deck for residents and an elevated parking deck and lower level surface lot — enough to take care of overflow parking from the Grafton commuter rail station across the street.
