SEPT. 18, 2024…..Six justices of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court will hear arguments Monday, Oct. 7 on Attorney General Andrea Campbell’s push to force Milton to comply with a 2021 zoning law – a case that the high court took on because of the new and important public policy issues it deals with.

The court set the specific date for arguments earlier this month, according to the case docket, and the paperwork has been coming in thick as dozens of other municipalities that will be affected by the court’s ruling on their legal obligations and the state’s enforcement powers under the so-called MBTA Communities Act. Those communities are trying to shape the justices’ thinking on the issue.
