Official Text

To the Honorable City Council:

 

Per the Community Preservation Committee's recommendation, the Mayor respectfully requests that your Honorable Board approve the amendment of the FY23 CPA grant of $425,000 awarded to the Somerville Hispanic Association for Community Development (SHA4CD) in FY23 for renovation of its building, the former Grace Baptist Church located at 59 Cross Street to amend the scope of work to be carried out under the grant with no additional request of funds. The scope described in the original FY23 CPA grant award was to restore portions of the exterior envelope; however, the CPC recommends that the FY23 grant be used instead to complete the installation of an elevator. (Fund #325216)

 

Appropriate staff will be available to address any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this item.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

Katjana Ballantyne, Mayor
