Hey neighbors--this one is important. The City of Somerville wants to meet with the neighborhood to discuss what's going on with the Star Market site.
As many of you will recall, the proposed purchase that was brewing last year has evaporated. And so there is nothing underway from the private purchase side, as far as we know.
The city wants to discuss what some future options might be around the site. I think this is a crucial meeting learn about what tools the city might have at this point. But we want have knowledge and input on whatever the next steps might be.
UPDATE: via Lauren Drago, from the city:
"The purpose of the meeting is to get a sense for whether the community would prefer us leaving the Star Market be and waiting for another bite from a private developer or whether people would prefer us to take a more active approach. We'll be laying out a few different options and explaining how community process would work for each."
Please turn out, if you can.
