Special: Advocacy Preparation: Land Use Hearing: Supernova Development in Somerville

from #ARTSTAYSHERE's Culture Crisis Conversations

Over the recent years, much work has moved forward regarding Rafi Property's Somernova development in Union Square, Somerville. The joint committee of Somerville's planning board & City Council's land use committee will hold a public hearing on Thursday, March 20 at 6:30pm on 3 zoning text amendments (ZTA) impacting this project: revised ACE (arts & creative enterprise) definitions, a new research & development (R&D) base zoning & a new Arts & Innovation Sub-Area zoning overlay. #ARTSTAYSHERE's Ami Bennitt & Ethan Dussault give a contextual overview of where this project started, how it's improved, how it's beneficial to the community & Somerville's arts/creative sector -- assuming Somernova & the Union Square Neighborhood Council (USNC) agree on the CBA (community benefits agreement). #ARTSTAYSHERE will offer more information closer to March 20 on giving public testimony at the hearing.
