Somernova Withdraws Climate and Equity Innovation Overlay District Zoning

Dear Somerville,

We are writing to inform you that we (Rafi Investments/Somernova Development Team) are withdrawing the Climate and Equity Innovation Overlay District zoning map and text amendment submitted to the City Council on December 6, 2023. The reason for withdrawing is so that we can work with the Union Square Neighborhood Council, City Staff and neighbors to revise the proposed Somernova project in response to comments that have been received. We intend to file revised zoning map and text changes this spring once more dialogue has occurred. 

Please stay tuned for an announcement of ways in which you can continue to provide feedback on the Somernova Campus Expansion project. 

- Rafi & Somernova Development Team
