Video of Copper Mill public meeting on March 10

[Christopher Beland]

We got an email today from Copper Mill that the nearly 2.5-hour Zoom recording is posted here:

The audio is unfortunately not great quality. I also took extensive notes, and intend to post those and update our Copper Mill FAQ soon. (I am a bit overwhelmed with DSNC business and it will take a few days to catch up.) Unfortunately, not much new information came out, and I think most or all of what did was reported in the newspaper articles that have already been shared. There were, however, many noteworthy comments and concerns from the public.

To be fair to Copper Mill, they sent their promised slides the next day and had been emailing back-and-forth with the DSNC Board because they were having technical difficulties with the large file size of the video recording. Louisa suggested they post it to YouTube, and apparently that solved their problems.

BTW, if you've been by on Elm Street, the old macaron shop has gotten a paint job and some birdhouses and historic maps and posters and houseplants and other decor; it looks like it's well on its way to being transformed into a project office.

Also, I want to point out that Copper Mill promised more than a week ago that everyone at last Tuesday's meeting would be sent a transcript of that meeting, but nothing has been sent. This is disappointing but not unexpected.
