Commercial Wharf Bill Warrants Support

A very important hearing will be held at the State House relating to legislation filed by Representative Aaron Michlewitz involving Waterfront residents’ homes.

The bill would preserve the 40-year-old grandfathered uses of Commercial Wharf, allowing unit owners to remain in their homes while preserving a residential area.

Residents need to band together and support their neighborhood and friends by attending the hearing scheduled for October 29 at the State House in force to move the measure along in a positive manner.

Hopefully, a large turnout attends the hearing.
