Petition to the City of Somerville Re: the Armory Master Plan

This petition was created and circulated by the Center for Arts at the Armory (CAA). You do not have to live or work in Somerville to sign this petition. The deadline to sign this petition is September 10, 2023. By signing this petition, you will be urging the City of Somerville to do the following:

1) abandon the proposed Model 1 for the Armory building (City as owner and operator model, which would force current tenants out)

2) adopt a 3rd party operator model for the Armory building that would include developing and issuing an RFP (Request for Proposal) that 3rd party operators interested in managing the building would respond to

3) develop and issue an RFP (Request for Proposal) for prospective arts/culture tenants interested in securing a lease on a space inside the Armory building

4) work with a consultant contracted by the City and current Armory tenants to create a governance model and governance committee that would develop, issue, and respond to both RFPs above
