Agenda includes:

  • Demo permit in progress at 2003 Aldrich Apartments
We will share our latest information on the status of this project, future for the site, and provide time for neighborhood feedback as plan for our engagement with the site owner.
  • Neighborhood Vision
Late last year, LHENA hosted a neighborhood assembly to discuss our development vision for The Wedge. We will review the feedback we received from that event and discuss how our vision for the future may - or may not - have shifted after our experiences in 2020.
