Community Meeting on Issues in Edward Everett Square | April 11

Submitted by Luke B on Mon, 04/09/2012 - 11:42am

The Edward Everett Square Residents Committee invites you to a meeting at the William Clapp House to address the chronic vagrancy, crime, panhandling, drinking, drug use, and other obnoxious behaviors that have plagued the Square of late, its residents, and its beautiful sculpture park. Local civic associations, businesses, elected officials, and the appropriate public officials will be invited to discuss ideas for solutions to this problem.  

The meeting will take place at 7PM on April 11th at the Dorchester Historical Society (195 Boston Street, Dorchester, MA).
