"This is an exciting night for us," McCarthy said, thanking city staff for their work.
McCarthy, who gave his address as 216 Foster Street, said the group has worked since the earlier vote to finalize a plan and secure financing. "We've done a lot of work on our side to come up with a plan and financing, and a team," he said, adding that permits are in place.
