Kantor said city offi cials would try to stick to natural boundary lines as much as is feasible. “We’re going to draw some draft maps just to spark conversation,” said Kantor. He said the feedback from the public forum – tentatively scheduled for the end of September – will be used to adjust the map before it goes to the City Council and the state for fi nal approval. “The current deadline now is that we need to have the fi nal maps approved by the end of October; it’s a very tight deadline,” said Kantor. “But if the legislature does what we think they might do, that changes the deadline to the end of December, possibly.” More information about redistricting and an opportunity for online feedback is available on the city’s website at www.revere.org.
