About Us

We are your neighbors

We are Townies, and Transplants who weren’t born here, but were drawn to Melrose for the lifestyle it offers.

We have different political viewpoints.

We come from different backgrounds.

We’re blue-collar, white collar and retired-collar.

But we’re united in:

  • Our desire to see Melrose developed in a way that preserves our City’s warm community feel

  • Our commitment to ensuring that the development process includes the perspectives of people impacted by the proposed projects

  • A belief that, when done responsibly, development can be good for Melrose

  • Our concern that, when done poorly, development can be detrimental to Melrose

Our Organization

We are a small group of neighbors volunteering our time to bring information about these large-scale redevelopment projects to our neighbors and fellow residents of Melrose.  We are not sure how, or if, this group will grow.

In the meantime, our ad-hoc steering committee consists of the following Melrose Residents:

Christine Davie, Shelley and Steve Finley, Cindy and Dave Fletcher, Kori Mendonsa, Scott Warmkessel, Margaret Zirker

If you want to help us out - posting to social media, tracking proposals to the City, attending and reporting on City meetings, etc. - please drop us a line: MelroseRRD02176@gmail.com
