Appeal of HDC OK of 111 Maplewood Ave Megaproject Heads For ZBA Tues

A volunteer lawyer will argue worried residents’ appeal of the HDC’s approval of the huge 111 Maplewood Ave project before the Zoning Board of Adjustment Tues (Jan 28) at 7 pm.  Supporters say the massive development will contribute to the vibrancy of an area all but destroyed by urban renewal.
