S.O.S. Hull (Save Our Space) wants to save Hull's open bay-to-ocean land. Once open space is gone, it’s gone forever. Future generations will never be able to stand on one of the only spots on the planet where they could see the sunrise and the sunset over the water.. bay to the west, ocean to the east.

We are a group of concerned residents in Hull, Massachusetts, trying to save this beautiful, vulnerable open land—the last remaining sizeable open space in Hull—from HRA’s (Hull Redevelopment Authority) plan for private developers to create multi-story condos, a boutique hotel and retail establishments.

S.O.S. Hull’s Mission is to pause current HRA development proposals to allow additional time for townspeople to propose alternatives for the HRA parcels that maintain open space from the bay across to the ocean as well as consider community-focused economic opportunities rather than private development.

There are draft development proposals to build approximately 115 condominiums, a boutique hotel and retail space on this property that lies between Nantasket Beach and the Weir River Estuary, also known as Hull Bay.

The designated area lies in a flood zone and is considered a barrier beach and coastal dune. S.O.S. Hull is concerned that rising sea levels and climate change will affect this area in the not too distant future. We question the decision to develop in such a fragile natural resource.

Instead of building condos and a hotel in an area that is subject to flooding, we would like to protect this natural resource and seek alternate uses such as passive recreation and activities that could be enjoyed by the community and visitors alike today and for future generations. Your donation will help us get the word out, hire legal support and advocate.
