Creating a Vision for the Future of Peabody Square :: St. Mark's Area Main Street

Saint Mark's Area Main Street is hiring Gail Sullivan Associates urban planners to work with us on the Peabody Square planning project, which will now include the entire SMAMS district (from Mercier Ave. to Melville Ave). Gail Sullivan had noted that there were not enough businesses in the Square itself to drive an economic revival, so the expanded project will have more of an impact. The new process will produce two planning documents, one focusing on the Square and another on the entire district.

We will hold two large community gatherings and two smaller workshops geared specifically to businesses and commercial property owners. Businesses and commercial landlords are invited to come to the large gatherings as well.

The large group meetings will be held in mid-March and early April. We are still working to confirm the dates and locations. This time frame will allow Gail to prepare for the meetings and will give SMAMS time to publicize them. Please help us in this by telling your neighbors and any businesses you frequent in the district.
