Have you heard about the Union Square Strategic and Community Benefits Plan? In 2015, the City of Somerville was chosen as the first location to participate in the LOCUS’ Attainable Housing and Social Equity Initiative (AHSEI) pilot, a place-based method for developing and implementing effective community benefit programs as large‐scale commercial development occurs around Somerville’s incoming transit nodes—focusing on Union Square. The final plan developed through this process includes a comprehensive inventory and prioritization of community benefits needs and opportunities that could be used to shape future public sector investments and policy changes, as well as shape community benefit agreements with other private development interests active in Union Square.

The City of Somerville will hold a community meeting on Monday about the upcoming stormwater and park project at Nunziato Park on Summer Street. The meeting is an open forum, and Mayor Curtatone, Ward 3 Alderman Robert McWatters and the Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development will be on hand to field questions and comments. The city intends to rehabilitate the entire park and refit the field with new lighting, irrigation and drainage systems.
If you can attend, please do so and feel free to send us your thoughts/feedback/concerns. Much is going on in here in Somerville and we appreciate all of our engaged volunteers.
