Brightview Canton is located on a former sand and gravel operation and manufactured soil processing plant. Wetland areas border the site; therefore extensive permitting was required for this project and included an Abbreviated Notice of Resource Area Delineation (ANRAD) and a Notice of Intent (NOI) through the Canton Conservation Commission. The project also required a Site Plan/Special Review Permit through the Canton Zoning Board of Appeals and the Planning Board to allow development within the Senior Housing Overlay District (SHOD).
