That caused some issues with Kathy Galvin and Gennie Keller; because they were concerned 4 PLACE was looking at the design of this area without talking to the neighborhood. PLACE thinks identifying areas in town as hot points for development is something they would like to concentrate on. Chris Henry, Stony Point Group (?), hired Eugene from Water Street Studio to see how he would have designed that specific corridor. 14.
