City Consults Old East Village BIA on Redevelopment Proposal
City Consultation on Redevelopment Proposal
The city council has initiated a consultation process with the Old East Village Business Improvement Area (BIA) to discuss a significant proposal concerning the redevelopment of three municipal parking lots into housing units. This action follows a council committee's recommendation to temporarily suspend any decisions on the proposal until comprehensive feedback is obtained from essential stakeholders.
Stakeholder Engagement
This consultation process is critical as the BIA felt blindsided by the initial proposal, emphasizing the need for community involvement in decisions impacting local businesses and residents. Ensuring that the BIA's concerns are adequately addressed is a priority for city officials.
Next Steps
- Formal meetings with the BIA.
- Collecting feedback from local residents.
- Reviewing potential impacts on local businesses.
