Statues in Davis Square, Somerville.

Davis Square Neighborhood Council (DSNC) has been working towards 501.c-3 status for the past year. We are pleased to get to the point of electing our first Board. 

DSNC priorities and projects:

• Improving the Davis Square Plaza
• Elm St. Development
• Zoning for more housing
• Community Path wayfinding and art
• Pedestrian safety
• Community-building

Board members will be key players in shaping Davis Square’s future:

• Building projects are likely to be planned and started in Davis Square. Board members will be key players in negotiating with developers to ensure that the community gets concessions through a Community Benefits Agreement.
• Based on the Community Benefits Agreement, other improvements to our Square will be funded.

Ballots can be cast at the Somerville Library West Branch on August 16 (9 a.m. – 1 p.m.), 23 (9 a.m. – 1 p.m.), and 25 (9 a.m. – 6 p.m.).  They will be tallied on the evening of August 25.

Eligible voters include those who work, receive services, operate a business, regularly volunteer at an organization/agency, or own real estate within the Davis Square business district, and those who reside within a half mile of the boundary of the Davis Square business district. A map of the district is available here: https://map.davissquarenc.org/
