This is your neighborhood. Your voice matters. The only way to make sure the 1601 Washington Avenue project works for all of us is to show up, speak up, and get organized.
Our Community-Led Working Group is the only effort that has actively invited all residents — renters, homeowners, business owners, and long-time neighbors — to participate in shaping a fair Community Benefits Agreement (CBA).
