In their fourth virtual meeting with the Harvard-Allston Task Force Tuesday, the developers of 180 Western Ave. shared updated plans for mitigating construction and fostering public spaces. Some task force members and locals, however, remain worried about the impact that construction at Barryâs Corner might have.
The development â which will be constructed on Harvard-owned land â began formal public review in July 2020, when the developer, Samuels and Associates, filed their Letter of Intent with the Boston Planning and Development Agency.
Since then, the developers have solicited feedback from the Harvard-Allston Task Force, which is serving as the developmentâs impact advisory group, and filed an additional planning notification form March 5, detailing further plans for the development.
Nick J. Grieco, a guitarist, is known by his friends as the one among them that continued to live in Allston after the rest moved elsewhere.
Nick J. Grieco moved to Boston in 2006 for his first year at the Berklee College of Music and relocated to Allston soon after. Fourteen years later, heâs still there. Even after watching friends move to other cities, he chose Allston as the place to build his network and launch his music career.
âI think my circles of friends that left before â they totally see me as the guy who stayed,â Grieco says.
Grieco stays for the same reasons that compelled him to settle in Allston in the first place: He recognized the opportunities a diverse neighborhood with a rich arts scene could offer a young guitarist early in his career. Allston, known by some as âRock City,â has been a creative hub since the â60s, cultivating a punk and alternative rock scene that bred the likes of Aerosmith.
