Why This Vote Matters

The council unanimously approved a master agreement allowing EAH Housing to develop new housing at the existing Nevin Plaza public housing site on Nevin Avenue. This gives the housing authority's executive director power to negotiate and sign all the contracts needed to move forward with the project. The development will replace or renovate the current public housing units, though specific details about the number of units, timeline, or costs were not specified in this authorization. Two council members were absent from the vote.
