December Eight Streets meeting

Morning everyone,

 

A reminder that our monthly Eight Streets neighborhood meeting is This Wednesday, December 6^th.   As usual, we’ll be meeting in the Boston Ballet board room (corner of Clarendon & Warren).

 

6:30-7 – Neighborhood Networking

7-8:30 – Business meeting.

 

Agenda includes

 

- 7 Dwight Street Decks.  The owners at 7 Dwight st would like to erect decks on the rear of the building.  They will bring their proposal to us, and are asking for a letter of support for the project.

 

- Athens Market II Liquor sales.   Athens II would like to add beer and wine sales to their new store format.  They feel the lower level would be an excellent wine ‘cellar’, and wine & beer sales fit in with their new business model (as presented at a previous meeting).  They will present their proposal, and ask for a letter of support from us.

 

- Gateway Art letter of Support.   The Gateway Art project will be presenting the new art that is going in Peters Park (behind the ballfield).   They will show us the planned project, and ask for a letter of support form Eight Streets.

A representative from City Councilor Sam Yoon’s office will be at our meeting (Councilor Yoon may also be there depending on his schedule).  Bring any City questions or concerns you may have to the meeting for some open discussion.

 

Hope to see everyone there!!!
