First Hill public meeting September 9th to focus on Land Use and Development
|
|
Join us this Tuesday, September 9th, at 6pm in the Frye Art Museum Auditorium to learn about development projects planned and underway on First Hill.
All corners of the neighborhood are growing, and we'll hear about high rises, open spaces, and what's happening on Yesler Terrace. Representatives from development firms and the City will talk about the plans for our neighborhood, what you can expect in terms of impacts, and when we can expect these changes. There will be opportunities for Q&A with panelists, and to sign up for continuous updates.
Parking is available in the Frye lot. Check the website for more details. All are welcome!
