“Dear PoPville,

I thought you might be interested in the issue addressed in the attached letter. Waggaman letter to GW (PDF)

GW plans to tear down a 135 year old building across from Whole Foods to create a small area of green space and ultimately a new building.

We don’t dispute their right to redevelop the area, but we ask that they spare the building, at least until the new construction is planned.”
