Community Meeting with Whole Foods Representatives on Monday


There has been nothing but back and forth with that toxic parcel of land which Whole Foods owns on 3rd Street for years. They had pretty much abandoned the site, the construction fence often collapsed, as you see in this photo. Recently there has been some activity. Are they cleaning up and thinking about building again? Or cleaning up for someone else to develop for which they will receive a tax credit? I suppose it might be found out at this meeting.

From Community Board 6's email:

Feb 22 Public Safety/Environmental Protection/Permits/Licenses Committee
