NRP did not specifically address the historic area issue. However, the new Phillips Park project certainly keeps the mansion theme in perspective in it's construction. Even though Honeywell has been merged, bought out, or whatever it's end destiny doesn't mean that the work they started won't be continued, even if they no longer provide financial support to Phillips projects. Remember they sold the building to Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo is already at the table on many issues. I expect that they will be at the table in the future as well, not to continue Honeywells legacy, but, to continue their own legacy of community interaction. It is getting really exciting in Phillips these days. There is a huge development proposal for all four corners of Franklin and Portland. This will be privately financed for the market rate and perhaps a partnership of public and private financing for the affordable housing peice. It is a high density multi-level project with retail at street level. It will really change this corner of Phillips. There are several other development proposals on the table for areas all along Franklin Avenue in Phillips. Property values in Phillips have skyrocketed.
