New committee formed to study Avenue vacancies

Directors of the Chestnut Hill Business Association and the Chestnut Hill Community Association agreed last week to establish a joint committee to study more than 30 vacant commercial properties along Germantown Avenue and try to find ways to fill them with tenants.

The CHCA board was initially considering the creation of an ad hoc committee to study the vacancies, but board member Fran O’Donnell, who is also the business association’s main street manager, withdrew the motion to form the committee when Bob Rossman, another CHCA board member, noted that the committee would have to hold public meetings as required by CHCA bylaws.
