Mar 30 7:00PM    Mt. Hope-ing Meeting

Rochambeau Library
From Katie Laferte: "The purpose of these meetings, according to Peter Simon, is to "revitalize" the Land Trust, and to get city and state agencies together to get more affordable housing into Mount Hope. We need to get more people to these meetings to make sure the character of our neighborhood is maintained. There has been talk of changing zoning and building high-rises."

"There will be another meeting on March 30 to begin drafting a plan to put some ideas in effect. What those ideas are depends on who shows up."
