UNICO lease 8-24 referral
At a glance
- What: The Commission took up an 8-24 referral (MR 575) on 2026-10-06 about a town lease to UNICO of the historic oven area at 5 East Summer St. An 8-24 referral is the statutory planning review of a town property action; the final decision rests with the Town Council.
- Goat Island: confirmed in the 2026-10-13 Council video: Jennifer Clock asked for authority for the town attorney to work with UNICO representatives to redraft a lease for restoring the historic communal bread oven on Goat Island, and the Council raised no objection. The draft lease will come back to the Council. The transcript does not say whether this is the same lease as the 8-24 referral at 5 East Summer St. It is separate from Goat Island Volunteer Cleanup Project.
