Downtown Merchants Association coordinator Jessica Kohn said one resounding issue is brought up at each monthly meeting of downtown Auburn business owners . “A huge hurdle is employees not having designated parking spaces for them,” Kohn said. “Unless business owners lease parking spaces , that’s really the only way they’re guaranteed a space. Certain business owners tell their employees to catch a ride or walk.” On average, 125 employees work at businesses downtown each day, she added. Not having them park their personal vehicles downtown frees parking spaces for customers. Yet the rallying cry from people who work, shop and eat in Auburn is that there is simply not enough parking space available to everyone. “In all the parking studies we’ve done, we’ve always been told that what Auburn needs is not one huge deck with 1,000 cars or 2,000 cars. It’s several little spaces,” interim city manager Jim Buston said. “Because our town is not that big; our town is smal...

Kate Bramson Journal Staff Writer journalkate PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Delays by the South Street Landing developers to begin construction early this year on two apartment buildings on a nearby Davol Square parking lot have caused the City Council to consider issuing the project a notice of default. After the developer missed a Jan. 27 deadline to get all city construction permits , the council's Finance Committee voted this month to recommend to the City Council that the city issue a default notice to CV River House LLC , of San Diego, the entity that has planned to build the River House apartments . The default would be for missing a deadline in the project's city tax-stabilization agreement, which limits taxes owed over 15 years to about $3.3 million. The council is expected to consider the issue Thursday night . It could vote to issue the notice or send the matter back to committee. "In order to preserve our rights under the [tax-stabilization agreement], we have to...

Author John Freeman Gill takes Fodor’s on an urban safari. If you make the effort to gaze skyward in New York, you will discover (hiding in plain sight) a city teeming with remarkable architectural sculptures : gryphons and sea monsters, cherubs and pelicans, goddesses and kings. These exuberantly expressive artworks were the creation of gifted immigrant stone carvers who poured into New York in the late 19th and early 20th centuries , most of them from the British Isles, Germany, and Italy. The ornament on the grandest edifices was typically specified by architects, but on the vast majority of city buildings , the design of the carvings was left up to the individual stoneworker. The carvers took this freedom and ran with it, incising their imaginations into New York’s skyline and transforming its streetscape into a marvelously quirky public art gallery . 555 Washington Avenue John Freeman Gill Ever since my novel, The Gargoyle Hunters , was published, I’ve been besieged by readers a...

HUMBLE, TX — Nestled along the growing area outside Humble, Texas, and along a stretch of East Beltway 8, is one of the fastest growing communities in the Houston area. Generation Park is quietly becoming home to large companies such as TechnipFMC, which opened their new campus there in 2016. And now, McCord Development Inc., which owns Generation Park , is building its own headquarters across the street from TechnipFMC. McCord Development has been acquiring land in North Houston since 1985. In 1995, McCord was the original developer of Summerwood, a thriving 1,541-acre master- planned community that is adjacent to the north of Generation Park. Since then, Generation Park has seen a flurry or retail development in the northern segments of the 4,000 acre campus, as well as plans from San Jacinto College and Lone Star College to develop work force education facilities there. In July 2016, McCord Development broke ground on Redemption Square, a mixed-used development, and its hea...
