The Road Show
We will be taking the vision and preliminary plans on the road with a series of about 20 public meetings over the next two months. We will get the full schedule out to The Ledger as soon as all the details are finalized, but the first meeting will be held with the Merrymount Neighborhood Association at 7 p.m. next Wednesday (March 25) at the Merrymount School.
The Street-Works and administration teams will be there to detail progress to date. More importantly, we will be there to listen to you, your concerns, your thoughts and to answer your questions.
As mentioned in my first post, this will be the most extensive public process for any project in Quincy history, and it is exciting to be talking about something so positive considering these difficult times.
In addition to meetings with individual neighborhood groups, we will be co-sponsoring general meetings with City Councilors in all six wards throughout April in May.
Stay tuned for all the details.
I find it interesting that certain (facts) being provided by StreetWorks LLC are not being verified even though they are being used as justification for their winning favor from our elected officials. Facts such as they control 70% of the effected property in the development area and that they have spent 15 million to date when all they show for that is 8 million on the purchase of one building. I would be interested to know if other property owners have been contacted and what the outcome of those discussions/negotiations has resulted in? Isn’t anyone interested to turn over a few rocks before we get behind this entity? If I am not mistaken, blind trust in large financial endeavors has not exactly resulted in positive outcomes lately!
There is no person on the city council or in the mayor’s office that is qualified to oversee a billion dollar project.
Remember the shipyard?
