Zoning News
Our new Zoning Director, Steve Nimitz has been busy. Through Steve we’ve learned that King’s Grant House has new construction management on site. Steve has connected with the new representatives to ensure that our concerns about the King’s Grant Wall are conveyed to the new leadership. We requested that lighting be restored and we monitor construction for potential impact on the wall. The new construction managers expressed their willingness to continue working with KGCL.
