Development Committee
Chair: Nancy Johnsen
The CNC Development Committee meets as needed to review certain proposed real estate projects within Charlestown. The CNC Development Committee requests presentations at a duly noticed public meeting from proponents of real estate projects within Charlestown that exceed 4 residential units or are comprised of more than one thousand square feet of commercial space. At these meetings the proponents are subject to questions and feedback from the CNC members present and from members of the community in attendance. Any CNC member may participate with the Development Committee. The CNC Committee through its co-chairs reports back to the entire CNC, which then votes on whether to take a position with respect to the proposed project, and may authorize the Chair to send a letter of support or opposition to the appropriate agency.

On September 5, 2023, the Charlestown Neighborhood Council voted unanimously to object to the draft of PLAN:Charlestown and called for the BPDA to hold in person, community meetings in Charlestown. You can read our letter to Mayor Wu and the BPDA here:
