# Somerville Redevelopment Authority Meeting 11-04-2026

At its November 4, 2026 meeting, the Somerville Redevelopment Authority approved a two-year extension of the memorandum of understanding allowing the City to use 90 Washington Street for temporary DPW storage, through November 2028. The approval was amended to require 30 days’ advance notice to the City of the expected sale date so stored materials can be cleared. Members and a nearby resident raised concerns about litter and damaged fencing and scrim; the City agreed to increase attention to site maintenance. DPW cited the site’s use for snow storage and storing materials for public-realm projects, and said it was exploring alternative storage locations.

The Authority also received an update on the redevelopment RFP for 90 Washington Street, which drew two proposals. Wood Partners’ proposed plan, under negotiation for a land disposition agreement, would remove a building near Cobble Hill Apartments, reducing the project from 418 to 374 residential units and from 244 to 218 parking spaces; the plan also included about 15,000 square feet of retail and 6,000–7,000 square feet of community space. No final disposition agreement was presented. Following an executive session, the Authority voted to ratify extensions of the developer designation agreement and escrow agreement, including an extension of the negotiation period; the transcript does not clearly capture the final extension date.
