JP Neighborhood Council agrees to stop fighting Little Wanderers project
By adamg on Fri, 11/08/2013 - 7:27am
The Jamaica Plain Gazette reports the council has voted to give up its legal battle to be declared a city agency, a declaration without which it can't fight the project to turn the former orphan's home on South Huntington Avenue into condos. On the plus side, if the council isn't a city agency, it can once again argue it's not subject to the state Open Meeting Law and so shut residents out of meetings whenever it feels like it.
The Gazette also reports the council is trying to fill the 8 seats (our of 20) that nobody ran for in its recent elections.

I don't know any of the
I don't know any of the background on this project, but what's the basis of the Council's objection? Will the home be demolished under the current plan? I seem to remember several years ago that there was a project to develop something on this site, but if I remember correctly that plan involved the expansion of the current building.
