Note that the Bloomingdale Civic Association is also exploring neighborhood Historic District designation.
*Reminder: Vote on whether to continue exploring Historic Designation.*
Hi neighbors,
Due to concerns that the process for voting on historic designation was
moving too quickly, the Eckington Civic Association board has decided to
postpone the community opinion survey.
*Instead, we will hold a vote at the next ECA meeting (Monday, June 6, from
7-9pm) on whether the community wants to continue exploring historic
designation or not*.
A *“yes” vote* would mean that we would next gather community opinion via a
survey or other means and then vote on whether to apply for historic
designation. A Yes vote does *not *necessarily mean that we apply for
Historic Designation status.
A *“no” vote* would mean that Eckington stops exploring Historic
Designation. Nothing further would happen on this issue unless the
community wants to revisit it at some future date.
Only dues-paying members are eligible to vote. Each membership applies to
only one person, not a household, so each person who wants to vote must
join the Civic Association separately. If you would like to join the Civic
Association, you can do so at the meeting or online (see below).
*Given the importance and wide-reaching effect of this vote, the ECA
decided to allow ECA members to vote on this issue even if they are not
able to attend the meeting. *
If you cannot attend the June 6th meeting, you must submit an absentee
ballot no later than Sunday, June 5, 9pm. If you mail your ballot, please
do so no later than Tuesday, May 31st.
To submit an absentee ballot:
· You must be a dues-paying member of the Eckington Civic
Association. You can join the Eckington Civic Association online:
