Davis Square Neighborhood Council
██████████████████████
██████████████████████
We typically meet the last Monday of each month, 6-8 PM, in person and via Zoom.
Our last meeting was June 29th. Our next meeting is Monday, July 27th, 6-8 PM, in a TBD location and on Zoom.
We are the Neighborhood Council for Davis Square, a non-profit organization seeking recognition from the City of Somerville to hold a seat at the table with private developers and city government. We advocate for a vibrant neighborhood and commercial center, represent the people who live and work here, and inform and connect our community.
If you're a neighborhood resident, business owner, worker, volunteer, or student, you're already qualified to become a voting member of the DSNC!
📆 Monday, July 20th from 6-9 PM
📍 Sacco's at American Flatbread
45 Day Street, Somerville
Come enjoy free pizza, free bowling, and a cash bar; chat with your neighbors; and support the DSNC!
Anyone can join our Google Groups:
📢 Davis Square NC - announcements only, low volume
💬 DSNC Discussion - open discussion of Davis Square issues, occasionally high volume
👥 See the Committees page for specialized groups
A major topic right now is a 40B proposal by Copper Mill to develop a major portion of Elm Street. Learn more about the proposal, the process, and how we can participate in the conversation. We are actively tracking the progress of the application, collecting community input, and ensuring everyone can participate in the conversation.
When formally recognized by the city, our neighborhood council will give Davis Square residents, business owners, and workers a guaranteed seat at the table when private developers want to reshape Davis Square. The DSNC convenes stakeholders to promote improved neighborhood communication, encourage wide public engagement, and help meet the varied needs of our diverse community.
Some DSNC members are passionate about issues outside of developer negotiations, such as street safety and accessibility, neighborhood beautification, land use, and community-building. We empower groups of residents to connect and organize around those priorities.
