i'm sure the shaw and mount vernon square blogs will have more to say about tonight's zoning commission meeting, but the key point is this:the o street market will be moving forward! the commission voted 5-0 to allow it to go to a public hearing. the date for that will be figured out in the future, but for now, we know that the project has been pulled off it's potential deathbed and allowed a further chance to prove its worth.
councilmember evans was there along with probably 20-25 community members and other stakeholders to show support for the project. the zoning commission recognized that, and the chairman, anthony hood, even made a comment that, when the hearings do commence, there should probably not be a column for people to sign in as opposition to the project, since he recognized that the entire community is behind this project wholeheartedly!

you don't have to use your real name, you can use a pseudonym, but it would be preferable if you don't just post anonymously. in order to carry on a conversation, for everyone's benefit, it would be nice to know who we're talking to.
