HRA modifies plan to reduce housing units, increase open space

The Hull Redevelopment Authority Tuesday night voted to modify its potential development in response to residents’ feedback on the draft Urban Renewal Plan.

The authority decided to eliminate Option 1, which contained housing on the northern end of the property, and concentrate on Option 2, which contains more open space. “Based on feedback we agreed to focus on Option 2, redefining the plan to preserve as much open space as possible,” said HRA Chair Bartley Kelly. “We will continue to gather public input on park improvements, what works and what doesn’t, and what is viable economically.” (view story)
