Taken out of order. Releases included the last year and a half of a 30-year open-space restriction (730 Merrimack Street), the 1995 reverter language on 32 Decatur Street, and 1986 tax takings at 53-63 Salem Street whose taxes were long paid. The solicitor called it a formality; the restrictions would otherwise block construction. Trinity Financial's attorney said the housing authority land would be leased for the new development. Adopted 10-0 on roll call.
