CITY OF CAMBRIDGE

PAST ADVOCACY

Lab Ban

In 2022, three different processes were initiated seeking implementation of a “lab ban” in certain business and commercial sections of the City, including Central Square, East Cambridge, Harvard Square, Inman Square, and beyond. While none of these efforts sought to ban labs in Kendall Square, they did seek to ban labs in spaces adjacent to and near Kendall Square.  KSA advocated against proposed restrictions on labs, and after multiple hearings, no lab ban was imposed.
