Condos or Rentals? Meeting on St. George St. Development Wednesday Night

The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. at the D-4 Community Room on Wednesday, July 10.

What was once the long-vacant Bethel Tabernacle Pentecostal Church on St. George Street – known fondly by some locals as the “Jesus Saves Church” - was torn down in 2011, supposedly to make way for condominiums. 

But neighbors said they were surprised to learn recently that the project was actually to be apartment rentals. 

A community meeting has been scheduled on Wednesday, July 10th at the D-4 Police Station (500 Harrison Ave.) at 6 p.m. to discuss the changes to the project, including whether up to five condos should be priced below market-rate. 

At the meeting will be members of the Blackstone-Franklin Neighborhood Association, the Boston Redevelopment Authority, and Project Manager Peter Zagorianakos of Newton-based N&P Associates, LLC.
