A Boston resident has spent the past decade battling his way through the permitting and approval process that would allow him to build his dream house on what is currently an empty lot on the flat of Beacon Hill.
But now, just after receiving the final sign-off on his plans, he's decided he doesn't want to, after all.
State Senate candidate Sonia Chang-Diaz came to Beacon Hill this morning, attending Hill House's annual pancake breakfast at the Firehouse on Mt. Vernon Street. Voters were excited to see her there, and it's pretty clear many across the 2nd Suffolk district are following the race.
The Beacon Hill Civic Association Board of Directors voted unanimously tonight to accept the agreement with Suffolk University first reported last week in the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald. The agreement had been negotiated by a team representing the group, but it was not final until the board voted to accept it.
The latest chapter in the relationship between Beacon Hill and Suffolk is now complete. The next chapter begins.
At its monthly Beacon Hill Civic Association (www.bhcivic.org) board meeting last night, the officers for the new Board (which starts in May) were announced:
Chairman: John Achatz
President Lori Geissenhainer
Clerk: Kate Enroth
Treasurer: Dave Thomas
Asst. Treasurer: Austin McClintock
The real change here is the selection of Ms. Geissenhainer to be president, replacing Mr. Achatz who becomes Chairman. Lori has been a board memeber for a year and was recently the co-chair of the group's Architecture Committee.
