In response to community concerns, the development team behind the proposed project at 42-86 Germantown Ave. has released a new and smaller version of their development plan, with fewer units and more parking.

The new renderings also show street trees, bike racks and a 10 ft. setback to align with other buildings on Church Lane. The follow-up community meeting, in which the renderings will formally be shown to residents, is to be hosted by Faith Community Development Committee and 12th Ward Democratic Committee and scheduled for this Wednesday, June 14 at 6 p.m.
