Brewery/Restaurant proposal for Social Security Building, version 2.0

[ron_newman]

ETA 7/29: This meeting has been postponed until a yet-to-be-set date in September.

[an e-mail from Ward 6 Alderman Rebekah Gewirtz]

I have been contacted by Rich DiGirolomo <digirolamo@verizonmail.com> who is representing a new applicant that would like to occupy the social security building space. The applicant does not have an official name but they are, according to Rich, locally owned and operated. They are proposing a brewery that will be 80% food service and 20% beer/wine/liquor service for the space (the word Somerville will somehow be in the name of the restaurant/brewery). He also informs me that the owner of the building plans to propose a local gym that would go upstairs.

I am going to hold a community meeting about this proposal on Wednesday, July 31st at 6pm on-site [240 Elm St]. If you could please help me spread the word that would be great.
