Keep Harvard Square Quirky--Sign Petition to Revise Zoning

The Square is facing new and sizable challenges that will impact this historic center for decades to come due to sky rocketing leases and commercial property sales. To preserve the eclectic historic mix of unique local businesses alongside the various national stores and onslaught of fast food restaurants, targeted rezoning is essential. Please support the Zoning Revision by signing Petition: https://www.change.org/p/suzanne-blier-save-the-harvard-square-theatre-keep-the-spirit-of-the-square Specifically, the Zoning Revision seeks to: -Limit ground floor street frontage of banks and administrative offices to 25 feet. -Require large properties to include smaller spaces amenable to local businesses. -Ask National chains (formula businesses) to conform in their signage and other façade treatments to Harvard Square’s unique local aesthetic mix. The revision reflects months of research, discussion, and deliberation between multiple stakeholders and specialists. These changes will leave Harvard Square in a much stronger position to face the sizable near term and far term challenges it faces. Help preserve Harvard Square before it is too late!
