HINGHAM --- Rather than continue to pursue a Ch. 40B permit so it can build 177 apartments in South Hingham, AvalonBay has reached a tentative agreement to sell the land to the town. The tentative agreement, which is subject to town meeting approval, is for the town to purchase approximately 18 acres for $3.7 million in order to build a wastewater treatment facility that will include a buffer from surrounding commercial operations for neighboring residential properties.
