HACE CDC

What they do

Go to the virtual community meetings, ask questions about zoning and development plans, and share your view. The group sends a summary letter to the city before the Zoning Board of Adjustment hearing.

Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Email Stasia Monteiro at smonteiro@hacecdc.org to register for the next virtual community meeting..

You can just show up. You need to sign up first.

What to expect

A first visit is a virtual meeting where a project is presented and residents discuss it. The page describes a set order: a preliminary meeting with the applicant, a community meeting, a committee vote, then a summary letter to the city. It does not say how long meetings run or whether anything costs money.

Tips for your first visit

  • Email the program director first to get the meeting link and the date.
  • Test your audio and camera before the call starts.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Community meetings are open to residents, and the page gives one clear way in, which is to contact the program director. The page does not say who can become a member..
