Arsenal Mall

Residents Want to Talk Taxes, Traffic & New Hotel at Recent Arsenal Yards Meeting

By |

Residents received more information about the hotel planned for the renovated Arsenal Mall and the rest of phase 2, and gave it mixed reviews. The 155 room Hampton Inn & Suites is planned to go in Building B, along with retail on the ground floor and a six level parking garage. While Wednesday’s meeting focused on the plans for the second phase of the Arsenal Yards project, residents brought up other concerns, including the taxes that the project would pay to the town. Developers have requested a tax assurance from the town that would cap the tax rate for the project. Tom Wilder, of mall management company The Wilder Cos., said the tax estimates are still being calculated but it will be discussed at a later date. “We want to have a forum on that when the information is available,” Wilder said.

Get Ready for Watertown’s Bring Your Own Bag Ordinance

By |

Watertown’s bring your own shopping bag ordinance begins on July 1, meaning that plastic bags will not be available at stores in town. 

The Town Council passed the ordinance in June of 2016, aiming at banning single-use plastic bags because they sometimes end up in the Charles River, in trees and other places. The ordinance was originally proposed by ReThink Plastic, a citizens group. The ordinance also encourages people to bring their own reusable shopping bag. Businesses will be able to use up their existing supply of plastic bags after the ban begins. After that paper bags and other degradable bags will be allowed, and customers will be able to bring reusable bags.
