EDIT 9/19 10:30 am: This event will be postponed to Tuesday, September 20 at 5:30 pm, because of forecasted thunderstorms tonight.

an e-mail I got from the city:

Come celebrate the completion of the first Somerville CPA project- Prospect Hill Tower!

Join Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone, Ward 3 Alderman Robert J. McWatters, the Community Preservation Committee and CPA project implementers to celebrate the opening of Prospect Hill Tower on Monday, September 19 at 6:00 pm Tuesday, September 20 at 5:30pm. Learn about the lesser known history of Prospect Hill and get a chance to see the view from the top!

Light refreshments will be served.

The City will be providing virtual, real-time tours on smart devices during the event for those who cannot climb the stairs. Use a device the City will provide during the event, bring your own, or call in from home. Individuals who are interested in taking advantage of this opportunity should contact Betsy Allen, the City's ADA Coordinator at 617-625-6600 x2323 or ballen@somervillema.gov . (This event was originally scheduled for May 23, but was postponed because of a forecast of rain and thunderstorms. The postponement also gave the city time to arrange the "virtual, real-time tours" mentioned in the announcement above.)
