Office of Commonwealth Development

January 11, 2005 I met with Andrew Gottlieb, who has replaced Gina McCarthy as Deputy Secretary and our prime contact. We reviewed the history of groundwater related problems in Boston and what our data had shown so far. We also discussed the level of commitment from both the City and the Commonwealth. Andrew had read the files that Gina left behind, was very up-to-speed on the subject, and wanted to have as much information as we could give him. He said that the next installment of the Environmental Bond Bill money had been released to the City, although he was not sure whether it was $500K or $600K. He had a groundwater meeting set for Sept. 10 with Bo Holland and Toni Pollak, called at their request.
