The Boston District Council of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) originally studied the Central Avenue Business District (CABD) of the Town of Milton as a subject of their Technical Assistance Program (TAP) in July of 2003.

At that time, the ULI’s recommendations were to consider mixed-use zoning options, revise the zoning of the area, hire a town planner and form an implementation committee. A town planner has been hired and the Town has been discussing possible zoning changes.
