SOMERVILLE – Somerville community members are invited to take a first look and provide public comment on proposals to redevelop 90 Washington Street, a nearly four-acre site near the East Somerville Green Line station. At the public meeting of the 90 Washington Street Civic Advisory Committee (CAC) on Tuesday, April 22, from 5:30-7 p.m., CAC members will review and share input on the recently received proposals and will also welcome feedback on the proposals from members of the public.
“Decisions like this shape the future of our city for decades,” said Mayor Jake Wilson. “I’ll be there, and I hope residents will join me. Come take a look at what’s being proposed, ask questions, and tell us what matters to you. The more we hear from the community now, the better this project will be.”
Following the April 10 proposal deadline, submitted concepts will begin moving through a public review process. The April 22 meeting is an early opportunity for community members to learn about proposals, ask questions, and help shape the future of one of the city’s largest redevelopment sites. Proposals are expected to be available to review on Friday, April 17, at somervillema.gov/90-washington-redevelopment.

About the 90 Washington St Request for Proposals (RFP)
The City is seeking a mixed-use project that delivers new housing, active ground-floor spaces, and publicly accessible open space, while helping recoup the City’s approximately $39 million public investment in the site. Proposals will be reviewed by the SRA, City Council, and the 90 Washington Street CAC, with a development partner expected to be selected in July.

The 90 Washington Street CAC is a City-convened group composed of residents, local employees, and neighborhood stakeholders that was established to provide structured community input throughout site planning and redevelopment. This CAC structure is used across projects involving the SRA.
