On March 9 at 4:30 p.m., join us at the city Development Commission meeting (111 N. Front St., Second Floor Hearing Room) to oppose the American Campus Communities/Blackstone private student housing proposed for Lane and High. 

We oppose the project because ACC is owned by Blackstone, one of the world’s largest and most predatory landlords. Recently, we spoke against the proposal at the University Area Commission, and the conversation at that meeting spurred commissioners to vote against the proposal 10-6.

The area commission’s decision is advisory, not binding, and the Development Commission may overrule the area commission’s recommendation at the March 9 meeting. At the meeting, we would like to have a large group in attendance to show that the community opposes this project. The proposal is sixth on the agenda, and we expect it will be heard at about 5 pm.

This is one of our last chances to intervene. Please join us, and share this information with others, especially any friends or colleagues with an OSU connection.
