Save EMF
Dear John P.DiGiovanni,
Please allow the tenants at 110-120 Brookline st to stay as long as possible, and provide at least 5 months notice when they are asked to vacate. No other music rehearsal spaces exist in Cambridge, and the rehearsal spaces in nearby, public transit accessible areas are full. The multiple recording studios that run out of the building have invested significant funds in infrastructure and will be losing a lot of money if they cannot remain.
As a businessman, we hope you consider the special difficulties of running a music recording business, and the fact that Cambridge has recently lost two music venues/gallery spaces in Central Square and that this displacement is troubling to the community,
Sincerely,
The people of Cambridge,

Why is this important?
The EMF Community’s goal is to save and maintain the EMF building as an affordable space for musicians and artists. The building tenants provide numerous economic benefits to Cambridge, and beyond, through paid and donated music performances, paid and donated music lessons, music engineering services, a pipeline of musical talent for local music venues, restaurants, and record stores, patronage to local businesses, and rents and homeownership tax from musicians who also reside in Cambridge. The EMF Community also richly contributes to the culture of Cambridge and the entire region, through creativity, public service, demonstration of work ethic against great odds, and community building and reflection. This community is a critical resource for the continuing development of local musicians and artists, and through them, a critical resource to the cities they serve.
