The Sasaki Planning and Design Team presented their work to date on the analysis of the project site, economic conditions, and geotechnical conditions. The meeting was held in the Police Department's Community Room on Monday, September 25, 2006. The presentation included visuals from a "site walk thru" and framework concepts for the site. The purpose of the meeting was to present Sasaki's findings to the public and to obtain feedback from the community. The site constraints and opportunities, as well as the framework concepts, will be the starting point for development of the master plan alternatives.

The project kick-off meeting was opened by Mayor Clancy on June 6, 2006. He welcomed the Sasaki consultant team and the project Steering Committee and stated that this project and its successful outcome are very important to the City of Lynn. Peter DeVeau briefly stated the purpose of the meeting and turned it over to Varoujan Hagopian to commence with the presentation. The Sasaki Planning and Design Team made a brief presentation of the firm's history, experience with similar projects, and initial ideas about the site. The purpose was to stimulate a discussion of ideas and specific issues that are unique to the project site and that the planning team needs to know about at the outset of the project.
