ANC6B Executive Committee meets at 7:00pm in Hill Center to set the agenda for the full ANC6B meeting on July 9. On the agenda is a discussion of the Stanton Eastbanc retail plan which the developers agreed to submit to the ANC prior to closing on the Hine site, scheduled for early July. The report does not appear to be available on line – yet – but the ANC and Stanton are expected to have it on their websites soon. The plan is short on detail. Stanton does not expect to contract with retail tenants of the Hine development until 2014.
