SE Uplift Public Land Disposition Forum-June 19th, 2010
SE Uplift, in conjunction with NECN, is holding a community forum to discuss how public lands are managed by our public agencies. There is a huge amount of land in parks and schoolyards deeply valued by our communities for contributing to the character, quality and functioning of our neighborhoods. There is strong pressure from the development community to gain access to parks and vacant school lands for valuable real estate opportunities. We want to give the community an opportunity to get  information about public land stewardship and whether our interests are served when agencies dispose of public lands.
Join our community forum!
Saturday, June 19th
10AM to 12PM
Mt Tabor Theater
