SWAP
The Southwest Area
Planning Committee (SWAP) is comprised of up to
twenty members representing ten communities
southwest of Boston. The purpose of SWAP is to foster
joint and cooperative action concerning water resources,
housing, solid waste, land use, transportation, economic
development, historic preservation, and the environment.
By encouraging informed and active cooperation among
neighboring communities, a harmonious balance of the
needs of government, residents, businesses, and commuters
can be achieved.
The SWAP region is located southwest of Boston between
Interstates 495 and 95 and is bisected by Route 109.

corridors has led to increasing development pressure
and waxing demands on environmental resources. The
committee's priorities include the study and execution
