Last month, GRIA hosted a meeting with the prospective developers of the current Anderson Auto properties at 25th and Howard.

Now, GRIA will provide an opportunity to debate the merits of the project as a community.  The developers will not be attending this meeting – this is just for us Remingtonians!

Please bring your ideas and any kind of visuals you have to illustrate your views. The goal of the meeting is to begin creating a list of changes we want to see the developers make to the project.

The details:

January 7
7:00 p.m.
Kromer Hall (335 W. 27th St.)

See you there, and please SPREAD THE WORD!

-Chris Merriam, Vice President
