Envision Cambridge with Melissa Peterson
These note were submitted by Jeff Byrnes.
Melissa Peters from the City of Cambridge presented on the Envision Cambridge process, current status, and future results. She took us through a presentation, showing that the Alewife area is already benefitting from study done as part of Envision Cambridge, and showed areas that will receive intensive, cursory, or no study as part of the process.
Aaron Hemquist, Senior Development Manager of Real Estate for Target Corporation in Minneapolis joined us to talk about Target's plans for their new store at the Porter Square Galleria.
The minutes on this part of the meeting are taken largely from the excellent reporting by Ron Newman, along with the comments of others online.
Envision Cambridge is a multi-year, mult-faceted look at the Cambridge of 20 to 30 years from now. It is a 2-year long project, which is now half way through.
