I just need to vent for a second. The way the committees are organized now is not working! Many have one or maybe two items on the agenda, but Licensing has umpteen. It worked so much better by area. Anyway, it’ll be nice to hear what’s going on with Pier 26. From last December, when the renderings (including the one above) were revealed: “They called it a ‘concept design,’ but they also said that they’re hopeful construction will start a year from now, so must mean this design is pretty far along. ‘We have all the money for this, and I don’t get to say that very often,’ said HRPT president Madelyn Wils.”
