The Foundry Exterior

Cambridge City Manager Louis A. DePasquale is seeking volunteers to serve on the Foundry Advisory Committee.  The Committee is made up of community members who serve in an advisory capacity to the City of Cambridge and the Cambridge Redevelopment Authority (CRA), to help ensure that the Foundry building’s (101 Rogers Street) redevelopment and ongoing operation remains consistent with the Vision and Objectives established in the Demonstration Plan

This group provides regular updates to the City Manager and to the CRA Executive Director on proposed uses within the Foundry building, which is in the process of being redeveloped and operated consistent with the vision and objectives that grew out of an extensive community planning process. Once the building is redeveloped, the Committee will also review any proposals for significant capital changes to the building as they affect the Foundry’s objectives.  

Meetings are held quarterly and are open to the public.  The Committee provides annual updates to the CRA Board at regular Board meetings, which provides an additional forum for public input.  Members of the Committee will be appointed by the City Manager to a term of 3 years. 

The City Manager seeks individuals with demonstrated ability to work effectively on a team with diverse opinions to craft consensus recommendations.  The Committee is intended to include experience and expertise in related topic areas, as well as representation from various neighborhoods within the city, and local non-profit and community organizations.

Additional information regarding the Foundry building is available on the project webpage:  www.cambridgeredevelopment.org/foundry

The deadline for submitting applications is Friday, Apr. 26, 2019. Applications can be submitted to City Manager Louis A. DePasquale using the City’s online application system at cambridgema.gov/apply.  A cover letter and resume, or applicable experience, can be submitted during the online application process.  Paper applications are available in the City Manager’s Office at Cambridge City Hall, 795 Massachusetts Avenue. 

For more information, contact the City Manager's Office at 617-349-4300 or citymanager@cambridgema.gov.
