The Department of Neighborhood Development (DND) is re-starting the community engagement process around a site composed of 11 City-owned parcels between Parker Street and Terrace Street. This site had been slated for development, but unfortunately, due to a number of factors, the proposed project was deemed infeasible. At the upcoming community meeting, DND will explain the factors that led to this decision, and lead the first of several discussions with the neighborhood to determine objectives that will shape how this site might be developed by a new team.

Please join us to discuss a possible zoning change to 30 Westville Street. Por favor, únase a nosotros para conversar sobre un posible cambio en la zonificación de 30 Westville Street. Hãy cùng tham gia thảo luận với chúng tôi về việc thay đổi phân vùng khả thi cho số 30 Phố Westville.
