Melwood would like to engage the neighborhood in a Town Hall or charette about the future of our Arlington Campus and the programming that occurs there.

Community Notes:

If you haven’t already studied the two sets of posted slide decks for tonight’s meeting, please do. And reviewing the slides from the community open house might also be helpful. Both can be found through links from the main project page: https://projects.arlingtonva.us/projects/pen-place-2021/
Tthe site design guidelines have been updated; study those as well. They are hiding as a document titled “other….” towards the end of the list on this page: https://archives.arlingtonva.us/publicaccess/permitarlington.aspx?OBKey__789_1=SPLA21-00008 The good news is that all the pages after p. 23 are blank! (appears that they added their edits/updates (in red) to the existing 2014 guidelines – very hard to read.)
Also, the real MMTA and appendix are available through this page: https://archives.arlingtonva.us/publicaccess/permitarlington.aspx?OBKey__789_1=SPLN21-00002
