Madison Rezoning Fails at Wrentham Town Meeting

The proposed rezoning of a parcel on the corner of Madison Street and Route 1 failed Monday night at Wrentham's Town Meeting.

The vote went 247-178 in favor of the rezoning, but it needed at 58 percent of the vote, to reach the necessary two-thirds to pass.

The rezoning would have changed the nearly 50 acre parcel from a combination of mostly residential property and a small portion of commercial one to comercial two zoning entirely.

The developer, Madison Real Estate Development, made several concessions to the town but was unable to convince enough people to vote in favor of the issue.
