Regardless of which side residents choose, the vote will reverberate throughout Eastern Massachusetts

After a controversial one day delay, Milton voters tomorrow will give their final verdict on a new land-use plan that would, for the first time, open pockets of the traditional suburban town to denser apartments and condos.

The vote is a referendum on the town’s plan to comply with the state’s controversial MBTA Communities law, which mandates cities and towns served by the T to allow for multifamily housing. Voting was supposed to take place Tuesday, but the forecast of significant snow prompted town officials to request a delay from a Norfolk County judge, which was approved.

So now polls will be open Wednesday instead — from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., snow or shine — with results expected later that night. The town and campaign organizers on both sides are working on spreading the word about the delay to voters, and some are worried that the change in schedule may impact who shows up to vote.

Regardless of which side residents choose, the vote will reverberate throughout Eastern Massachusetts.

The law is at the center of the state’s bid to dig out of its massive housing crisis, and a push by Governor Maura Healey’s administration to ensure that communities that have long resisted new housing play their part.
