June 5, 2009 Mass Mental plan is on the way LONGWOOD MEDICAL AREA—After years of delay, a redevelopment plan for the former Massachusetts Mental Health Center site is back on track and may be formally presented to the community this month. One of the developers, Brigham and Women's Hospital, sent an official "letter of intent" with the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) about the plan on May 7. That was about a month after the Gazette published an article and photo about the decaying condition of the existing Mass Mental building, which has been vacant for six years. But officials are calling the letter's timing a coincidence. Ross draws challenger as races shape up Local City Councilor Mike Ross has a Mission Hill challenger in this year's election: Oscar Brookins, a Northeastern University economics professor and community activist. Wentworth not talking 14 stories School works to keep students on campus Wentworth Institute of Technology at a May 13 community meeting took steps to reassure residents it is not secretly pushing a 14-story development on the Sweeney soccer field on the corner of Huntington Avenue and Ruggles Street. Pointing to increased cooperation within the recently formed Colleges of the Fenway group, Wentworth officials said they are considering expanding a proposed dorm at 525 Huntington Ave. from six stories to nine to house students from other area schools.
