We will have Open Forum at 7:15pm for anyone to speak from the floor. We will have updates from the North Avenue Task Force, the Walk/Bike Plan committee, and the Community Development Block Grant committee. Residents will have an opportunity to talk with elected and appointed officials who are routinely invited. Meeting starts at 7pm
There will be an update on the remediation of the contaminated soil stockpiled in Leddy Park, plus
Bessery's Market will include a new butcher shop, a quality deli/takeout (eventually adding delivery service), and a new creamee / Italian ice window. Bessery's market has been part of the North End for 50 years. The make-over will require new equipment and upgrades, and the family has launched a crowd funding initiative so residents can have an investment in the venture. It's an opportunity to back a business that looks forward to being part of our community for the next 50 years!
