Council Sets Hearing Date

The City Council Monday set August 30 as the date for a public hearing on redevelopment plans for the 42-acre Kendall Square urban renewal site.

The hearing is expected to produce heated debate over the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's plan to build its $60 million electronics research complex on 29 acres of the site.

A group of Kendall Square businessmen have promised that they will have "quite an entourage" on hand to speak against the NASA proposal. Mayor Edward A. Crane '35 predicted last week that the hearing "will be a hot one."
