     MA-Russia Wharf, L.L.C. will host a public meeting regarding revisions to the proposed Russia Wharf redevelopment project (the "Project") on a 2.2 acre parcel at the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Congress Street, Boston.  The revised Project includes approximately 65 new residential units in the Russia Building at 530 Atlantic Avenue; approximately 135 residential units in the Graphic Arts and Tufts Buildings at 270 and 286 Congress Street; and six levels of below-grade parking.   A mix of uses will occupy ground level locations:  office/residential lobbies, restaurants, retail spaces, gallery and civic space, pedestrian circulation, and other special public destination facilities.  A significant new public open space area will be created along the Fort Point Channel to expand public access and to provide transient boat slips.

     The purpose of this meeting is to obtain comments from the community regarding the project revisions.  The meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 27, 2005 at 6:00 p.m. at the Boston Harbor Hotel at Rowes Wharf in Boston.  All interested persons are cordially invited to attend.

     The project revisions are further described in a Notice of Project Change submitted on July 8, 2005 to the Boston Redevelopment Authority ("BRA").  Public comments on the Notice of Project Change should be submitted in writing to Mr. James Gribaudo, Senior Project Manager, BRA, Room 910, Boston City Hall, Boston, MA  02201 or by e-mail at jim.gribaudo.bra@cityofboston.gov by August 8, 2005
