As you probably have been made aware, there is a proposal to develop the property at 64 and 66 Lime Street. The plans are to build two single family homes on that site which entails the demolition of the existing house and store.

As the City Councilor representing Ward 2, I have planned a meeting of neighbors, abutters and people interested in discussing the project for:

7:00 PM
Tuesday
March 20, 2007
Newburyport City Hall

I anticipate sharing the upstairs auditorium with another group or moving the meeting to an office next to the auditorium if space allows.

To date I have heard from people who are opposed to the project as well as from people who have expressed support. It would be appreciated if you could attend so that many different opinions could be heard.

This is an informal meeting and is not intended to be an “official” City Hearing or Meeting. It will be a chance to discuss the project with your neighbors and the community in an informal setting.

The Developer of the project will be present and I will be moderating so that we may have a constructive meeting.

Please call with questions or comments. I look forward to seeing you there.
