A building permit was filed for a small retail store at 220 Howard St in Framingham. This means a new commercial space may open in the area. Residents may see construction activity in the coming weeks.
The permit was filed by Michael Chaves on January 13, 2026. The building is classified as a small retail store under code 325C. The property was built in 1926 and is owned by Yuri Souza. The permit number is BLD-26-73.
The next step is for the city to review the application. If approved, work on the project could begin. The permit has no listed expiration date, so approval is likely pending.
