HRA members acknowledge public’s desire for open space, affordable housing in plan

Many participants in the Hull Redevelopment Authority’s most recent workshop on its draft Urban Renewal Plan reiterated their preference for open space on the 13acre property. HRA members and consultants told the 59 attendees in the Zoom meeting on March 16 that adjustments are being made to the plan in response to the feedback, including eliminating some residential units near Monument Square. “The board felt it was important to let people know we are listening, and are going to take that off the table right out of the gate,” HRA Chair Bartley Kelly said. “Based on input, we took the 24 units of residential housing on Parcel 1 off the table. It will open the view corridors as you come into town.” (view story)
