From the city Somerville Economic Development Team :

Thanks for Attending Our Meeting!

We had about fifty people join us Monday night for our latest community meeting on a possible Winter Hill Urban Renewal Plan. Thank you to Councilor Clingan and Winter Hill Brewing Company for having us, and to everyone who came by. Below is our voting sheet that participants updated last night; we're still seeing support for an urban renewal plan including all sites except for the Brewery Block. This does not include voting on SomerVoice, which will be open until 2/17. Beyond the voting, we heard a variety of different priorities highlighted: Community Land Trust parcels for affordable housing and/or commercial Commercial use / grocery stores Some wanted no housing, some wanted affordable housing Center for youth as well as space for the elderly The importance of keeping parking/traffic in good shape, especially near the Elizabeth Peabody House.

Next Steps

2/13 - Reunión de la comunidad de Winter Hill: La ciudad de Somerville está reuniendo comentarios sobre un posible plan de renovación urbano en Winter Hill. Esta iniciativa ayudaria a saber que te gustaria ver en el sitio vacante de Star Market y podría apoyar otros objetivos de la comunidad en el vecindario. Únase a la conversación en español y comparta su perspectiva. Jueves, el 13 de Febrero de las 6:00 - 7:00 pm, Escuela de Winter Hill, 115 Sycamore St, Somerville, MA. (We have one more meeting, to be held in Spanish, on February 13 at 6pm at the Winter Hill Community School.) 2/17 - Online Feedback: You can still weigh in online at SomerVoice.SomervilleMA.gov until February 17. 2/19 - Presentation to the Somerville Redevelopment Authority: Staff will be sharing the results of our community engagement at the next SRA meeting on Wednesday, 2/19 at 5:30pm at the Somerville Public Library Central Branch Auditorium. There will be an opportunity for public comment, and we will share the slides on SomerVoice.
