Seems to me we're all hiding behind our keyboards. Otherwise, I'd be posting with my name which is what I do on other boards I frequent.
Why is it we should believe you're going to attend the meeting? We have no way of verifying that unless you choose to stop hiding behind your keyboard?
Massdee has a history here and has proven him/herself to be honest and trustworthy. I wonder if there's anyone here willing to say the same for you? I know I won't.............

There were about 20 people in the audience.....4 of them elected officials and 1 reporter (not sure what newspaper). Questions were pretty low key....parking during snow emergency's, updates on DPW equipment purchases, status on the Boys and Girls club etc. Councilman Simonelli had some input on a possible use of the old high school as a consolidated municipal facility. That idea is starting to grow on me....

I just found this on the city web site. Was anyone aware of this? Or am I just out of the loop because I don't live in Ward 6?
Ward 6 Community Meeting to Discuss Development

I have never seen it or given notice. I asked some of my neighbors and no one has heard of this.

Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MAYOR, DEVELOPER MEET WITH WARD 6 RESIDENTS
On Tuesday January 27th, Mayor Carlo DeMaria Jr. and representatives from Berkeley
Development met with residents of Ward 6 to discuss future development plans. While
negotiations are underway the Mayor is confident with the progress to begin discussions
with local residents.
Development of the 40 acre property is only in the initial stages, the Mayor is hopeful
that once proper permitting is in place, the city will soon see construction along the
Malden River. “This is the biggest development opportunity to hit Everett in a decade,”
stated Mayor DeMaria, “given the economy, we’re hopeful
Initial proposals develop the regions first “Green Technology Park,” an office park that
not only houses environmentally conscious technology firms, the office park itself will be
the first ecologically friendly park. Designs call for buildings that work with the
environment, generating power through solar panels and windmills, and the structures
will have less impact on the environment.
“There is still a lot of work ahead, before we start construction,” stated Mayor DeMaria,
“this is a great first step, and I think the entire city will benefit.”
