Dear All:

This is something we should get up to speed on -- particularly in view of possible applicability in our fight to preserve Firestation/Wilson School playfields.

Land acquisition was also discussed previously in connection with blocking a proposed development called "1101 Lee Highway" (would have put a residential tower adjacent to Key Bridge at Lynn St. -- maybe that project is dead, maybe not).

Would any of you volunteer to represent NRCA at one of the public meetings on this topic (listed below) and report back to us?

Thanks,
Jennifer
