Project Review and Discussion
General Business
- Central Square Demonstration Plan Presentation and Q&A from Cambridge Redevelopment Authority (CRA) Staff
“The CRA is preparing a Demonstration Project Plan (Demonstration Plan) to facilitate new investments in cultural facilities, mixed-income housing, and community-oriented commercial spaces in Central Square.” – https://www.cambridgeredevelopment.org/projects/central-square-demonstration-plan
The CRA Demonstration Plan may lead to future Central Square development projects subject to CSAC review.

Instead, CRA staff will present to the committee as part of its stakeholder engagement to:
- provide information about the purpose and goals of the Demonstration Plan,
- better understand the needs of Central Square,
- identify techniques for the preservation and revitalization of a cultural district,
- and to answer questions.
- Staff Updates
Hold for staff from the Community Development Department (CDD) to share relevant information about Central Square.
- Committee Member Updates
Hold for members of CSAC to share updates about Central Square.
