Hi Michelle and Geoff - Would you be willing to share the site plans that you have from Civico with the town prior to the December and/or March votes? I believe the Bank of America building will be demolished and a new building built in the parking lot on Lincoln Road, is that correct?
Ideally also updated elevations, showing the proposed heights of the buildings. I believe it is one story of commercial and three stories of residential, is that correct? I think with that type of transparency, it might alleviate a lot of the concerns that folks have.
