While everyone is welcome and encouraged to share their feedback for the plan (read more about that process here), a group of Eckington residents are coming together to discuss our vision for our neighborhood, which will be shared for a vote at the next ECA meeting on May 1.

This group will meet on the evening of April 17, time and location TBD. If you’d like to attend, sign up here and the organizers will contact you with more information.

The group plans on focusing on these areas & issues:

  • buffering between industrial land and residential
  • Industrial land in general
  • North Capital retail focus
  • FedEx site
  • Triangle between Florida, New York, & North Capital
