Welfare building plan moves forward

The Herald has a story on the sale and development of the Public Welfare building at 154 Maverick Street, a project that has been in the works for quite some time and which is still a while away from fruition.

John and Melissa Tyler's winning proposal would offer below-market rents to a number of businesses, which would operate out of the building's first and second floors. This would seem to be a boon to Maverick Square's development.

The Tylers plan to put more than a million dollars into the building, which the city would turn over them -- with a number of stipulations -- for $100.
