In a closely watched special election Tuesday night, Needham voted to repeal new zoning that would have made them compliant with the state's controversial law that aims to create more housing in communities served by the MBTA.
According to the town clerk, 6,904 people voted down the zoning changes, while 4,914 people voted to keep in compliance with the law.
"Granted, there is a need for new housing, but we should do the Base Plan, see what happens, have the option to expand it or change it," Nate Levin of NRTZ told the Observer.
Needham Residents for Thoughtful Zoning, who led the "no" campaign, support the Base Plan, which would rezone for more than 1,800 units in compliance with the law, according to the Needham Observer.
