Since SCC's February 15th, 201 purchase of 181 Washington Street from the Boys and Girls Club, we have held five community meetings for nearly 500 neighbors and others in the community to learn about and provide input on the project- this is ultimately what has guided our work since our inception in 1969- community input. These meetings have included formal presentations from our development and design team and consultants, interactive design workshops, and neighborhood walking tours.
