Now
you
should
see
the
must
message
pop
up,
but
my
name
is
john
romano
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we're
here
tonight
to
hear
from
ascend
just
a
little
bit
more
about
the
proposal
to
add
in
pickup
as
one
of
their
options
here
for
their
space.
What
I
want
to
tell
you
all
is
that
again,
my
name
is
john
romano,
I'm
the
liaison
for
this
area.
My
email
is
always
john
john
period,
romano
r-o-m-a-n-o
at
boston.gov.
A
B
Thank
you
john.
My
name
is
leslie
delaney-hawkins,
I'm
an
attorney
with
prince
lobel,
I
recently
transitioned
over
from
city
hall,
and
I'm
very
excited
for
this
to
be
one
of
my
first
city
of
boston,
centric
meetings.
More
importantly,
I
want
to
introduce
andrea
cabral,
who
is
the
ceo
of
ascend
and
has
been
overseeing
their
operations
since
they
started
in
may
of
last
year.
C

B
You
know
that
if
you
have
an
issue
where
you
have
a
question,
you
pick
up
the
phone
and
you
can
call
these
folks
this,
as
we
have
seen
the
cannabis
roll
out
in
boston,
and
I
can
speak
to
this
just
because
of
my
professional
experience.
We
haven't
seen
the
negative
impacts
that
people
anticipated
right.
We
have
seen
incredibly
responsible
business
owners
in
all
in
honestly
in
every
single
one
of
these
locations,
but
ascend
is
probably
one
of
those
that's
gone
above
and
beyond
in
terms
of
if
they've
gotten
someone
who's
concerned,
they
address
it
immediately.
B
So
so
we
think
that
there's
not
going
to
be
any
sort
of
negative
impact
to
the
community.
If
anyone
has
a
concern,
there
is
a
direct
contact
with
all
of
our
team
here
again.
Andrea's
here.
Mark
obviously,
is
the
person
on
the
ground,
we're
here
to
take
your
feedback
and
to
work
into
what
we're
proposing
and
we're
here
to
have
a
conversation
about
what
anyone
else.
What
anyone
is
worried
about.
A
Back
to
you
awesome
well,
thank
you
all
so
much.
I
appreciate
it.
So
what
we'll
do
now
is
I'm
going
to
go
down
the
line?
I
apologize
if
I
mess
up
anyone's
names,
but
if
you
just
have
any
questions,
comments
or
concerns,
this
is
your
chance
to
ask.
If
you
don't,
you
could
just
say
no
comment
and
we'll
keep
moving
down
the
line
here,
but
chiara
charon,
I
just
muted,
you
do
you
have
any
questions,
comments
or
concerns
not
at.
