MSBA Board meeting: NELSON PLACE APPROVED!

While Nelson Place is at the top of the agenda, we're awaiting the arrival of Superintendent Boone and City Manager O'Brien (who just came in)...now getting a rundown of projects.
"You can't get the facilities manager involved early enough in the process..." says Jack McCarthy

Mayor Joe Petty speaking of Nelson Place needing replacement
Superintendent Boone: one of our highest performing schools, need for a better building...
City Manager O'Brien "we pride ourselves on maximizing life of the building...we will have our match ready to go"
We've also got City Councilor Tony Economou, who represents District 1 and whose children attend Nelson Place, here along with Representative John Mahoney, who represents this district.
Treasurer Grossman asks for a motion to invite Worcester to the eligibility period. Seconded from the floor

"we want the educational plan to drive the design, rather than the eligibility"
Unanimously approved by the board!
