From Bradley Thomas, ANC-5C01
Friends and Neighbors:
Please see the attached notice I recently received from the Department of General Services regarding a public hearing on the surplus status of Langston and Cook Schools. Please plan to attend on January 12, 2012, at 6:30 p.m. This is exactly the input we were denied the first time Cook went on the surplus properties list. The current city administration is making sure the community is heard at every stage of the process this time around and we need to take full advantage of it. I have put in a call to clarify that the address of Langston is 43 P Street and that if the building being surplussed is 45 P Street, then they are talking about the Slater School. At any rate, all three buildings are vital components of our community so let’s spread the word to our neighbors who are not on this e-mail chain and make sure we have a good turnout.
Thanks.
Bradley A. Thomas
