NESNA

NESNA members will undoubtedly be interested in the presentation given for us by Steve Richardson, Artistic Director of the Weitz Center, and Steve Spehn, Facilities Director, of the Carleton staff, at the Guest House on  April 19.    The Weitz Center shows every likelihood of completion in time for the fall term to begin in September.     Here is a link which shows the impressive new spaces, including a cinema auditorium which will seat 250.     http://apps.carleton.edu/weitz/

Concerning plans for the parking lot on 2nd and Union Streets,   here is an artist’s rendition of the possible appearance of that lot, after expansion to 46 parking spaces and the addition of landscaping.   Second_Union_Parking

We give our heartfelt thanks to Joe Hargis for sending us these links, and I know he will be interested in any comments and questions from our membership.     He can be reached at  jhargis@carleton.edu.      Ed

We thank Martha Larson  (see below blog about her new position as Carleton’s manager of energy and sustainability)   for this exciting report about the college’s second wind turbine.    You may have read an article in the Northfield News about the debate going on in the world concerning the “setback” requirements for these new wind turbines, and today’s response to that article from a wind power consortium, in the Mpls Tribune.     News like this is very timely, and this website is committed to keeping you informed about this——-and, of course, any other topic likely to affect our neighborhood.   (open this link to see today’s report from Carleton.)    http://apps.carleton.edu/campus/facilities/projects/second_turbine/
