Official Text
To the Honorable Board:
On behalf of the Somerville Chamber of Commerce, I am writing to ask that you vote for the Union Square Zoning.
The Chamber believes that for or all who live, work, and play in Somerville we need a strong commercial tax base and a growing job base to support the cornerstones of our urban quality of life -- public works, public safety, and public education - all municipal services.
With debt obligations rising dramatically and after a robust community dialogue, the time is now to pass zoning and move toward a permit-ready Union Square.
Sincerely,
Stephen V. Mackey, President/CEO
Somerville Chamber of Commerce
