More Winthrop News

The city council is scheduled tonight to consider a resolution to support or oppose the current bid to rehabilitate the Winthrop.  City support would give the developer a better chance of receiving state funding.

The developer, Oakland-based A.F. Evans, plans to spend as much as $21 million to purchase and renovate the building by restoring its grand ballroom, improving commercial storefronts, and transforming 26 units into market-rate apartments. The remaining 168 units would continue to serve as federally subsidized apartments.

We’ve talked about it here before.  What are the new issues to consider?  Anybody?
