City officials approved a building permit for a new commercial project at 152 Danforth St in Downtown Framingham. This could bring more traffic and noise during construction, altering the local landscape with new development.

The permit (BLD054958) is for a commercial project. The applicant name and project value were not listed in city records. Construction could start soon.

The site is near Framingham Library, Town Hall, and the Old Colony Railroad Station. The area was a historic industrial zone tied to 20- century manufacturing. No recent permit activity at this address was found in city records.

City inspectors will check on the project after construction starts. Residents can check Framingham’s building department website for updates. Contact [email protected] with questions.
