Development News: 51 Melcher – a proposed life science building with a side of social media shenanigans
Nothing thrills us more than foolishness on the internet
On Friday morning, Universal Hub reported that GI Partners filed plans with the Boston Planning Development Agency to convert the nine-story 51 Melcher St. into life-sciences building. As part of the filing of the project, the developer included a social media policy – which is sort of strange to say the least:
We will monitor the social media around the Project and correct misinformation. –
The monitoring’s goal is to inform neighbors about what really happens inside life-sciences buildings with local community groups, residents, artists and businesses – in addition to monitoring what what is said on social media.
Needless to say, twitter erupted into a sea of nonsense just to test how closely social media is being monitored. Very seventh grade but hilarious none-the-less.
How long before some of these rumors are circulating around the neighborhood?
Anyway, you can learn more about this proposed project here!
