Davis Square Hotel - update

Somerville Patch has a good summary of the proposals for a hotel in Davis Square (where the farmer's market is now) here: http://somerville.patch.com/articles/davis-square-hotel-what-developers-have-proposed.

Also, you can go to the City's website to see much of the submitted material here: http://www.somervillema.gov/departments/ospcd/economic-development/davis-square-hotel-project

Other information can be found at an independent website created by a neighbor: http://herberthotel.net/

Gate Residential and KSS Realty were picketed by Unions when demolition and initial construction began. I believe, they did use Bent Electric which is both local and Union (Local 103, IBEW). I don't know if other Union labor was used.
