from the Times article: "Next week, a community meeting originally planned to continue discussions of the Tufts proposal will now instead offer the community an opportunity to discuss this news as well as next steps. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 26, at 6:30 p.m., at the TAB Building, 169 Holland St."

I'm with you, Ron. I'm very confused as to why they need that amount of time to develop. Then again, they just started a large project on the corner of Harvard Street and Boston Avenue in Medford that stood vacant and in disrepair for many years.

That building wasn't vacant; it was occupied (I don't know how much) by mostly woodworkers and other craft businesses who need large spaces to work. My piano tuner used to have his shop there, and was kicked out, apparently on relatively short notice (presumably by commercial lease standards). (The tenants knew Tufts was going to do something with it eventually.)

I see, but still don't understand why they would need 15 years for the Powder House School.
