Newton FAQs: What's Happening on the Austin St. Parking Lot?

In this series, Ward 2 Alderman candidate Eve Tapper shares some of the questions she has been asked while out on the campaign trail.  Drawing on her 6+ years experience in the Newton Planning Department, she will answer the questions in this blog. 

What is happening on the Austin Street parking lot?

The Board of Aldermen and the Mayor have decided to sell or lease the lot to a developer for a mixed-use project.  Six applicants have submitted proposals for the site in response to the Request for Proposals (RFP) earlier this year.  Before the Mayor chooses a developer, there will be an public forum with the developers on October 30th at the Newton North High School Cafeteria.  I hope I will see you there.  As Ward Alderman, I have the skills and technical expertise to make sure the project is designed properly.
