City Councilmembers have refused to speak to us about the project due to pending litigation. They may believe that if they take a stand in legislating against this massive development, the developer may try to sue the City. What they may not know is how many people oppose this project as it stands. By emailing, calling or writing to your elected officials, you can help make a difference for the North Shore.
