A
The
committee
at
ccc
dot,
cpa
boston.gov,
that's
ccc.cpa
boston.gov,
to
provide
written
testimony.
I'd
like
to
stress
that
we
need
information
from
people
who
are
providing
public
testimony
via
video
conference,
especially
if
you're
dialing
in
with
a
phone
number
or
if
you
have
an
unrecognizable
username
with
that
said
again
today,
the
cpc
is
recommending
a
total
of
27
million
205
854
dollars
to
fund
52
projects.
A
Fourteen
million
six
hundred
sixty
thousand
one
hundred
fifty
nine
dollars
for
affordable
housing
projects,
six
million
one
hundred
and
forty
one
thousand
three
hundred
and
fifty
seven
dollars
in
historic
preservation
projects
and
six
million
four
hundred
and
four
thousand
three
hundred
and
thirty
eight
dollars
for
recreational
use
in
open
space
projects,
so
very
exciting
opportunity
for
our
city.
Since
the
adoption
of
cpa
over
92
million
has
been
awarded
to
198
projects
spanning
across
every
neighborhood
in
the
city.
A
With
our
approval
of
this
appropriation
request,
we
will
have
awarded
over
119
million
to
250
projects,
since
first
funding
in
round
2018,
again
very
exciting
for
us.

Community

and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
council,
flaherty
and
councillor
bark.
Probably
probably.
The
reason
that
we
have
cpa

because
of
council
bloc
and
council
flaherty
as
well
and
andrea
campbell,
council
campbell,
but
community
preservation
act,
know
what
I
love
about
this
program.
It
brings
people
together.
B
It
brings
residents
together,
brings
city
officials
working
with
working
with
residents
across
the
city
in
in
supporting
great
projects
that
residents
come
up
with,
and
it's
really
improving
the
quality
of
life
for
so
many
residents
in
the
in
the
in
the
city.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
maya
wu
as
well
in
her
team.
That's
here
they
do
an
outstanding
job
on
this,
and
especially
especially
supporting
the
youth
of
our
our
community,
our
parks
and
open
spaces.
B
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
thank
you
for
holding
this
hearing
and
to
the
panel
and
to
everyone
who's
here
in
the
audience
today
very
excited
to
discuss
these
matters,
and
I
mean
it's
always
good
to
give
up
money
right
so
happy
times.
I
thank
you.
Counselor
back
outsidert
and,
of
course
our
fellow,
as
you
mentioned,
council
campbell
for
actually
pushing
this
through,
and
I
look
forward
to
the
conversations.
A
Thank
you,
councillor
fernandez
anderson
also
joined
and
would
like
to
recognize
my
vice
chair,
counselor
kenzie
bark,
who
also
played
a
pivotal
role,
I
guess,
and
in
helping
draft
and
support
the
legislation
that
eventually
passed
so
without
further
ado,
counselor
kenzie
bach.
D
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
chair
and
the
chair
is
being
modest.
Counselor
flaherty
was
the
supporter
of
cpa
the
first
time
when
it
failed
back
in
2001
and
then
15
years
later,
when
it
succeeded.
I
was
really
our
council
champion
this
hearing
delights
me.
I
I
got
to
work
on
this
campaign
as
an
advocate
involved,
both
with
the
greater
boston
interfaith
organization
and
the
whole,
yes
for
a
better
boston
coalition,
organizing
the
campaign
and
knocking
on
doors,
and
so
it
just.
D
You
know
funds
to
make
our
collective
dreams
real
and
in
particular,
I
think,
came
in
response
to
a
really
deeply
felt
need
in
the
city
for
more
resources
for
affordable
housing.
We
continue
to
feel
that
need
and
it
drives
the
advocacy
for
a
whole
bunch
of
other
sources
potentially
from
a
transfer
tax
on
down.
But
I
think
cpa
is
an
example
of
when
you
put
the
question
to
bostonians
hey:
could
we
all
pull
together
a
little
bit
to
do
more
for
affordable
housing
and
also
open
space
and
historic
preservation?
D
The
answer
came
back
a
resounding
yes,
and
so
it's
always
a
pleasure
for
me
because
of
the
personal
history
and
then
also
because,
as
a
historian
on
the
council,
it's
just
been
great
to
have
the
first
ever
sort
of
city
level
source
for
historic
preservation.
D
Combine
that
with
the
really
important
priority
of
affordable
housing
and
as
we
all
know,
you
know,
as
we
tackle
climate
change
and
also
as
the
city
gets
denser.
You
really
need
these
outlets
of
open
space.
So
just
really
excited
to
be
here
today
and
grateful,
as
I
mentioned,
for
the
chair's
leadership
on
this
and
then
our
former
colleague
counselor
campbell
as
well.
Thank
you.
E
E
The
community
preservation
act
is
just
a
wonderful
example
of
people
coming
together
to
you,
know,
fight
for
their
neighbors
and
fight
for
affordable
housing
and
preservation
and
incredible
sorts
of
funds
that
we
have
to
do
really
important
work
that
sometimes
it's
it's
like
hard
to
find
the
money,
and
we
found
it
here
through
your
collective
efforts
and
through
the
organizing
efforts
of
a
lot
of
community
groups
and
folks
on
the
council.
E
So
I'm
excited
to
be
here
as
a
new
counselor
to
think
about
the
ways
that
we're
using
the
community
preservation
fund
and
to
lead
into
this
work.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
happy
to
be
here
very.
A
Good,
thank
you
counselor,
also
in
receipt
of
two
letters
from
colleagues
this
like
to
read
into
the
record
from
council
liz
braden
district
9
to
chair
flaherty.
Please
be
advised
that,
due
to
a
scheduling
conflict,
I
will
not
be
in
attendance
for
the
committee's
duck
at
0-313
on
community
preservation.
I
am
in
full
support
of
the
application
for
historic
preservation
made
by
saint
luke's
in
saint
margaret's
church
in
austin,
and
look
forward
to
the
expansion
opportunities
for
community
gatherings
that
will
result
from
the
preservation
work.
A
I
ask
that
you
please
read
this
letter
into
the
public
record,
sincerely
liz
braden
and
boston
city
council
district
9..
I
also
received
a
letter
from
our
colleague
city
council
ricardo
arroyo
from
district
five
tier
chair
flaherty.
Please
excuse
my
absence
from
today's
committee
on
preservation
act.
Hearing
docket,
zero,
three
one.
Three,
the
community
preservation
funds
is
essential
resource
for
the
city
of
boston.
The
use
of
these
funds
for
affordable
housing,
historic
preservation,
open
space
and
public
recreation
have
an
incalculable
impact
on
the
neighbors
of
the
city.
A
I
am
in
support
of
this
year's
proposed
investment
in
community
preservation
act,
funds
towards
open
space
and
recreation
projects
throughout
district
5,
as
well
as
city-wide
investments.
My
staff
will
be
attending
the
hearing.
I
will
thoroughly
review
the
video
hearing,
minutes
and
public
testimony
we'll
follow
up
with
any
questions
or
concerns.
Sincerely
ricardo
arroyo
bosses,
city,
council,
district
five.
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
thadeen.
A
I
guess
for
introductory
comments
on
behalf
of
the
committee
and
also
if
there
are
any
time
constraints
from
our
from
our
chief
from
our
first
assistant,
ian
or
from
our
commissioner
just
be
mindful,
and
I
can
take
I'll
defer
to
you
in
the
order
of
the
presentations
you
have
the
floor
up
very
good
maureen
will
go
instead
right,
so
maureen
you
just
please
introduce
yourself
for
the
record
and-
and
you
have
the
floor.
F
F
Again,
thank
you,
councillor,
flaherty
and
good
evening
to
all
councillors
and
everyone
from
the
public,
as
you
stated
we're
here
today,
to
seek
council
approval
for
the
fy
22
slate
of
cpa
projects,
but
I
want
to
start
by
thanking
the
cpa
staff.
Many
of
you
already
know
they
dean.
Our
deputy
director
she's
admirably
led
this
team
during
a
difficult
year,
a
year
of
covet
staffing
turnover
you'll
hear
from
fading
shortly
as
she
orchestrates.
This
evening's
presentation
also
on
staff
are
two
historic
preservation:
consultants,
courtney,
whalen
and
jillian
lang.
F
They'll
join
us
later
to
present
the
historic
preservation
projects,
we've
hired
brendan
killarney
to
fill
a
vacant
contract
administrator
role
this
year.
There
remain
three
to
four
open
positions
that
we're
hoping
to
fill
this
year
and
that
just
speaks
to
the
volume
of
work
that
has
been
put
out
by
by
a
small
team.
F
I'd
also
like
to
extend
my
sincere
appreciation
to
the
community
preservation
committee,
which
is
chaired
by
felicia
jacques.
These
nine
individuals
expended
a
great
deal
of
time
and
thought
reviewing
applications
and
participating
in
public
meetings.
Their
commitment
and
efforts
are
evidenced
by
the
strong
project
of
sleep.
Excuse
me,
slate
of
projects
that
will
be
presented
today,
we're
also
fortunate
to
enjoy
partnerships
with
other
city
cabinets,
notably
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
and
environment
and
open
space,
you'll
you'll
be
hearing
from
their
chiefs
as
well.
F
This
is
our
fifth
funding
round
as
you're
aware
by
by
city
standards,
we're
in
our
infancy,
but
I'm
here
to
say
that
we're
an
ever
improving
and
ever
developing
program
you'll
hear
thadin
speak
about
some
of
the
continuous
outreach
and
education
that
she
and
her
team
do.
Additionally,
we
continue
to
add
structure
to
the
program,
to
give
guidance
to
those
that
are
applying,
notably
this
year,
ensuring
that
eligibility
forms
were
tightened
up
so
that
projects
that
didn't
meet
the
threshold
of
the
program
didn't
move
forward.
F
We
want
to
make
every
project
successful,
and
you
know,
educating
and
developing
that
those
projects
is
a
goal.
A
few.
No,
a
few
noteworthy
highlights
that
I'd
like
to
bring
out
as
councilor
flaherty
said
fifth
year
250
projects
over
you
know
over
119
million
dollars
in
funding,
37,
affordable,
affordable
housing,
109,
historic
preservation,
98
open
space
and
recreation
projects
across
the
city.
F
Fantastic,
I
mean
what
what
this
small
effective
team
has
been
able
to
do.
We've
preserved
over
80
historic
buildings
and
sites.
Cpa
funds
have
planted
over
250
trees
to
help
with
boston's
tree
canopy,
created
urban
farms
and
community
gardens
rehabilitated
and
created
over
60
playgrounds
and
recreational
spaces.
F
I
could
go
on
and
on,
but
we
all
would
like
to
get
home
tonight.
So
but
again
I
I'm
here
tonight,
because
the
cpa
ordinance
lays
out
a
number
of
responsibilities
tonight
we're
going
to
address
three
of
them
first
and
if
they
dean,
if
you'd
pull
up
the
first
slide,
the
first
one,
first
and
foremost,
is
giving
out
money.
F
So,
as
counselor
flaherty
said,
we
are
here
tonight
to
ask
for
approval
on
52
projects,
totaling
seven
million
two
hundred
and
five
thousand
eight
hundred
and
fifty
four
dollars
over
fifty
percent,
affordable
housing,
twenty
percent
to
historic
preservation
and
twenty
two
percent
to
open
space
and
recreation.
F
F
F
F
They
deem
we'll
go
into
that
later
in
the
presentation
really
give
a
deep
dive
into
some
of
the
things
that
jm
golson
is
doing
for
us
that
will
additionally
be
available
to
the
public
and
will
be
provided
to
council,
as
as
it
becomes
available
again
it's
a
work
in
progress.
We
are
a
work
in
progress,
but
we
are
continuing
to
develop
and,
finally,
the
the
piece
that
I
know
councilor
bach
has
looked
for
is
to
ensure
that
we
do
not
supplant
funds
from
other
city
budgets.
F
So
again,
what
that
means
is
that
when
we
started
funding
in
2018
2017
needs
to
be
our
baseline.
We
need
to
say
that
we
continue
to
grow
the
budgets
of
those
departments
that
we
augment
not
supplant.
So
I'm
here
to
say
that
for
open
space,
the
capital
plan
in
2017
was
23
million.
In
fy
22,
it's
30,
almost
37
million
historic
preservation
had
a
modest
365
000
in
fy
17
and
fy
22.,
it's
526
000.,
that's
the
capital.
F
The
the
operating
is
a
tells
a
different
story
parks,
excluding
cemetery
18
million
in
fy
17
in
fy
22.
It's
closing
in
on
26
million
mayor's
office
of
housing
had
an
operating
budget
of
just
shy
of
13
million
in
fy
17
and
is
exceeding
35
million
in
fy
22..
F
An
environment
had
2.2
million
in
fy
17
and
is
closing
in
on
5
million
in
fy
22..
So
that
is
the
baseline
by
which
we,
by
which
we
look
and
make
sure
that
we
are
continuing
to
grow
those
operating
and
capital
pro
budgets.
Additionally,
I
will
tell
you
that,
as
all
projects
are
presented
to
cpc
and
looked
at,
we
run
them
through
the
budget
office.
We
ask
the
budget
office
to
take
a
look
and
say
any
of
these
in
the
capital
plan.
Anything
here
that
looks
you
know
doesn't
pass
the
sniff
test.
F
If
you
will
to
make
sure
that
we
are
not
supplanting
and
they
do
that
regularly
so
that
we
continue
to
not
only
grow
operating
the
capital
budgets
but
to
grow
our
program
and
not
supplant
so
counselor
brock,
I
will
say
that
I
know
you've
asked
for
that
in
the
past.
I
hope
that's
answering
the
questions
that
you've
asked
and
we
can
certainly
get
your
office,
the
actual
numbers,
with
that
I'm
going
to
pass
it
over
to
theyd.
F
G
G
G
I've
been
with
the
cpa
office
for
four
years
now
and
through
all
five
funding
rounds,
and
it's
been
truly
a
pleasure
to
serve
the
residents
of
the
city
of
boston
and,
like
treasurer
grosso
just
mentioned,
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
my
hard-working
team
courtney,
willin
and
jillian
lang,
our
historic
preservation,
consultants,
our
new
contracts,
administrator
brendan
killarney
and
the
community
preservation
committee
as
well.
I
would
like
to
thank
treasurer
garcia
for
her
tremendous
support
and
leadership,
and
I
would
like
to
a
special
thanks
to
our
legal
counsel
and
our
auditing
team.
G
That
works
very
closely
with
the
cpa
department.
We
are
a
very
small
but
efficient
team
this
evening.
I'll
give
a
brief
overview
of
the
cpa
process,
our
fy
22
funding
ground
and
introduce
to
you
the
52
projects
recommended
by
the
community
preservation
committee
and
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
G
So
I'll
start
off
just
for
those
who
might
not
be
familiar
with
community
preservation
act.
I'd
like
to
give
an
overview
in
the
next
few
slides
that
helps
everyone
understand
the
annual
process
for
this
25
million
dollar
grant
program.
Property
owners
pay
a
1
property
tax.
Lower
income
and
senior
owners
are
exempt.
The
average
homeowner
pays
about
32
dollars
per
year,
more
than
20
million
is
collected
annually
and
the
funds
can
only
be
used
for
affordable
housing,
historic
preservation
and
open
space
and
recreation
projects,
and
then
there's
a
state
match
real
estate.
G
Next,
there's
the
allowable
uses
of
cpa
funds
under
the
general
law.
Chapter
44b,
cpa
funds
are
statutory,
limited
and
narrowly
defined.
The
funds
can
be
only
used
for
specific
purposes
to
acquire,
create,
preserve
and
support
community
housing
to
acquire,
create
and
preserve,
open
space,
to
rehabilitate
and
restore
open
space
that
was
created
or
acquired
with
community
preservation,
funds
to
acquire,
create,
preserve,
rehabilitate
and
restore
land
for
recreational
use
and
to
acquire,
preserve
and
rehabilitate
and
restore
historic
resources.
G
G
Next,
I
would
like
to
highlight
the
community
preservation
allowable
spending
purposes.
Chart
this
chart
is
significant
to
the
decision-making
process
during
the
eligibility
phase
for
the
cpa
team.
When
determining
eligibility
requirements
for
projects
seeking
cpa
funds.
This
chart
is
a
source
from
the
department
of
revenue
which
references,
the
detailed
definitions
and
purposes
under
chapter
44b.
G
Understanding
the
allowable
use
of
cpa
funds
is
critical
to
the
success
of
applicants
being
invited
in
to
complete
an
application
so
to
best
prepare
applicants.
We
engage
and
educate
them
early
and
often
to
best
educate
residents
and
organizations
on
the
cpa,
statute
process
and
allowable
uses.
We
host
a
series
of
events
and,
throughout
the
spring
summer
and
fall.
I
would
like
to
highlight
the
schedule
of
our
upcoming
community
engagement
and
educational
events
this
year.
These
events
will
be
listed
on
our
website
for
those
who
would
like
to
attend.
G
As
I
stated
in
my
introduction,
the
cpa
team
is
small
but
very
efficient.
Over
the
last
two
years
we
have
transformed
our
daily
operations,
significantly.
Staff
and
consultants
monitor
over
160
projects,
daily
site
visits,
monthly,
check-ins,
monitoring,
construction
timelines
and
processes.
Efficient
tracking
systems
are
in
place.
We
have
81
projects
that
are
completed
to
date.
91
percent
of
our
funding
from
2018
to
2021
projects
have
been
paid
out
to
date.
A
hundred
percent
of
the
funds
for
2018
have
been
spent
95
for
2019
and
90
for
2020
and
84
for
2021..
G
This
does
not
mean
that
all
projects
are
completed,
but
that
funds
have
been
distributed.
Projects
completed
under
budget,
the
funds
will
be
reverted
back
to
the
cpa
program
year.
End
applicants
have
two
years
to
complete
an
open
space
and
recreation
project
or
historic
preservation.
Project,
affordable
housing
projects
are
granted
five
years.
G
G
We
have
also
updated
our
project
monitoring
response
to
based
on
applicant
feedback,
we've
improved
our
funding
process,
so
grant
agreements
and
moa's
are
approved
in
two
to
three
weeks.
Timely
payments
and
grant
installments
to
applicants,
commitment
to
building
community
relationships
and
potential
project
pipelines
daily
is
something
that
we're
doing
every
day
we
are
successfully
cultivating
inter-departmental
relationships,
we're
managing
our
2022
strategic
planning
for
a
new
community
preservation
plan
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
in
later
on.
In
the
presentation
today,
funding
round
preparation
continues
to
be
a
success.
G
We
continue
to
receive
projects
from
every
neighborhood.
The
rolling
eligibility
form
allows
applicants
to
apply
early
upfront
legal
review
as
part
of
our
eligibility
process,
increased
early
contact
with
potential
applicants,
which
allows
us
more
time
to
verify
proposed
projects
before
they
are
selected
to
go
before
the
committee.
Our
virtual
community
engagement
and
education
is
going
well
also.
We
continue
to
host
our
annual
historic
preservation
and
open
space
workshops
host
our
meet
and
greets
and
informational
sessions,
application
information
sessions
with
approximately
30
to
40
participants
per
event.
G
The
2022
funding
round
boston's
fifth
year
of
participation
in
the
cpa
program
had
total
funds
available
were
projected
at
29.5
million.
3.4
percent
was
allocated
to
administrative
cost
and
the
cpc
had
approximately
28.5
million
to
consider
for
recommendation
this
year
with
reverted
funds
reallocated
to
cpc.
G
G
To
give
you
some
of
the
funding
highlights
for
this
fy
22
round
the
cpa
staff
hosted
over
10
virtual
events,
information
session
workshops,
the
meet
and
greets
with
over
200
participants
joining
over
the
virtual
events
and
meetings.
We
had
over
95
eligibility
forms
that
were
submitted
requesting
over
42
million
dollars
in
funding
eligibility
forms
submitted
from
every
neighborhood
66
applications
presented
to
the
community
preservation
committee,
36
million
dollars
in
funding
request.
The
cpc
held
11
public
meetings
from
september
through
january,
over
20
hours
of
public
discussion
and
application
review.
G
Total
applications
received
by
neighborhood
is
on
this
next
slide.
As
you
can
see,
here's
a
full
overview.
Dorchester
is
the
highest.
Has
the
highest
amount
of
applications
this
year,
followed
by
roxbury,
beacon,
hill
and
south
boston?
There
are
four
neighborhoods
that
did
not
receive
funding
this
year
bay,
village,
north
end,
roslindale
and
west
end.
G
We
did
receive
eligibility
forms
from
these
neighborhoods,
but
the
projects
were
not
invited
in
to
apply
for
the
fy
22
funding.
The
community
preservation
committee
is
committed
to
funding
projects
in
every
neighborhood,
so
staff
will
continue
to
work
on
finding
projects
with
the
readiness
to
proceed.
A
H
Great
I'll,
just
kick
it
off
so
good
evening,
chairman
flaherty
and
members
of
the
council.
I'm
pleased
to
be
here
tonight
to
discuss
a
slate
of
affordable
housing
projects
that
are
seeking
cpa
support.
H
The
mayor's
office
of
housing
had
a
large
funding
round
in
the
fall
of
2021,
and
this
is
our
call
for
great,
affordable
housing
projects
citywide,
and
we
make
multiple
funding
sources
available
through
that
round
linkage
idp
city
of
boston
operating
and
to
discuss
tonight,
cpa
after
careful
underwriting
by
the
mayor's
office
of
housing.
Along
with
the
cpa
team.
Here,
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
is
recommending
that
10
housing
projects
receive
cpa
funding.
These
10
projects
are
located
in
dorchester,
jamaica,
plain,
chinatown
and
roxbury.
H
Three
of
the
projects
are
home,
ownership
projects
and
seven
are
rental
and
combined
they'll
create
a
total
of
480
new
units
of
affordable
housing
before
I
hand
it
over
to
jessica
boatwright
who
will
give
a
quick
overview
of
these
10
important
projects?
I
too
want
to
thank
thay
dean,
brown
and
her
staff
they've
won
a.
They
have
run
a
wonderful
process.
H
They
have
been
really
just
great
to
work
with
thorough
and
really
have
listened
to
our
our
what
we've
loved
and
what
arc
of
the
concerns
that
we
have
brought
forward
and
also
felicia
jacques
and
the
board
of
directors
who
has
they've,
given
just
countless
hours
to
make
the
right
recommendations
here
tonight.
So
without
further
ado,
I
do
want
to
hand
it
over
now
to
jessica,
boatwright,
deputy
director
of
the
mayor's
office
of
housing.
Thank.
I
Sheila
just
mentioned
our
gratitude
to
the
dean
and
the
staff
and
and
to
the
committee,
but
I
really
want
to
give
credit
to
the
community
preservation
committee
for
their
really
thoughtful
consideration
and
their
ongoing
prioritization
of
affordable
housing
projects.
We
had
some
really
great
discussions
this
year
about
how
they
wanted
to
use
their
affordable
housing
money
and
and
trying
to
balance
prioritizing
deep
affordability
and
prioritizing
opportunities
for
wealth
creation
through
a
home
ownership
production.
So
I
think
it's
a
really
exciting
group
of
projects
and
just
going
to
go
right
into
them.
I
I
It
is
a
collaborative
effort
between
beacon
communities
and
the
chinese
consolidated,
benevolent
association.
Many
people
who
are
familiar
with
chinatown
will
recognize
the
site
it's
right
next
to
the
existing
taitung
village
development
and
it's
really
exciting
to
everyone.
Who's
been
working
on
this
on
this
slate
to
offer
a
large
number
of
affordable
units
in
chinatown,
where
it's
really
hard
to
build
new
right
now,
next
project
is
dmh
at
harvard
commons
in
dorchester.
I
I
It
is,
it
will
be
four
units
for
extremely
low
income,
adults
with
mental
health
challenges,
so
it'll
be
a
really
nice
project
and
the
next
one
is
hamilton
at
mount
everett
in
dorchester.
This
is
a
supportive
senior
rental
project.
It's
one
of
the
first
supportive
senior
rental
projects
in
the
city
where
hebrew
senior
life
will
be
providing
the
services
in
partnership
with
viet
aide,
which
is
the
developer,
and
it
will
result
in
36
new
homes
for
seniors.
I
The
next
project.
Talbot
commons
2
is
an
all
affordable,
multi-family
rental
development
developed
by
codman
square
community
development
corporation.
It's
it's.
The
redevelopment
of
two
parcels
of
city-owned
land
into
really
needed.
42
new,
affordable
homes
with
a
variety
of
unit
sizes
to
accommodate
a
variety
of
household
sizes
in
the
existing
neighborhood
stoneley
brookly
in
jamaica
plain,
is
the
next
project.
This
is
a
home
ownership
project
that
actually
was
originally
permitted
as
a
privately
developed
rental
project,
with
only
a
third
of
the
units
being
affordable.
I
But
now
turgor
companies
and
the
jamaica,
plain
neighborhood
development
corporation
have
taken
it
over
so
that
all
45
of
the
units
will
be
affordable,
including
five
units
with
artists
live
workspace.
The
next
project
is
127
amri
street.
If
people
can
see
the
image,
they
may
recognize
that
this
is
a
development
that
continues
to
build
out
boston,
housing
authorities,
amory
street
public
housing,
redevelopment
right,
transit,
oriented
along
the
mbta
orange
line.
It
will
result
in
98,
sorry
96,
affordable
rental
units
that
will
transform
where
a
bha
garage
and
public
safety
building
are
right.
I
The
next
project
is
nuba
homes
in
roxbury.
This
will
be
49
new,
affordable,
homeownership
units,
sorry
49,
new
home
ownership
units,
36
of
which
are
affordable,
it's
being
developed
by
urbanica,
it's
one
of
two
affordable
buildings,
there's
a
partner
rental
building
that
will
also
be
built
on
this
site,
which
is
one
of
bpda
owned
site.
It's
bpa
parcel
eight.
It
also
includes
artists,
live
workspace
as
well
as
ground
floor
retail,
and
we
are
interested
and
excited
to
see
how
this
proposal
goes
forward.
I
I
The
larger
site
redevelopment
includes
office
space,
a
couple
of
different
food
spaces,
artist,
lab
and
workspace.
This
will
be
15
new
home
ownership
units.
10
of
them
will
be
affordable
and
artists
that
live
in
this
building
will
have
priority.
To
use.
Artists
live
workspace
elsewhere
on
the
bartlett
station.
F5
in
roxbury
is
the
next
project.
I
This
includes
44
rental
units
developed
by
nuestra
community
dad.
It
further
builds
out
the
the
really
transformative
redevelopment
of
the
bus
yards
at
what
is
becoming
bartlett
station,
and
this
also
has
a
lot
of
different
unit
sizes
for
different
household
sizes
in
the
neighborhood,
as
well
as
indoor
and
outdoor
public
space,
and
then
the
last
project
in
this
year's
group
is
2085,
washington,
street
and
roxbury
on
a
really
key
corner
of
nubian
square.
I
A
Well,
very
good,
thank
you,
deputy
director
and
thank
you
chief,
who
can
be
against
this
great
opportunity
for
our
city
to
put
people
in
homes.
Just
two
quick
questions.
I
guess
which
dating
talked
about,
maybe
in
her
slideshow,
have
over
the
last
several
years.
Have
we
have
sort
of
any
funds
been
sort
of
de-designated
for
any
affordable
housing
projects
that
have
been
put
forth,
that
to
best
of
anyone's
recollection.
I
A
A
And
then
this
year
I
noticed
that
there
was.
There
was
no
funding
for
the
oneplus
boston
mortgage
program,
which
I
think
is
phenomenal
and
wish
that
we
had
more
participating
banks.
So
is
there
a
reason
why
one
plus
boston
didn't
get
a
nod
in
this
round
of
funding
and
can
we
make
sure
they're.
H
D
I
guess
just
really
and
this
I'm
not
sure
that
it's
necessarily
a
question
for
you
guys.
I
just
wondered
if
the
maybe
it's
a
question
for
13
and
maureen,
like
what
the
conversation
in
the
community
preservation
committee
has
been
about
relative
allotments,
because
I
don't
think
the
cpc
has
ever
sort
of
set
out
a
specific
plan.
But
I
know
that
when
we
passed
this
there
was
always
the
conversation
about
sort
of
lion's
share
was
probably
going
to
be
for
housing.
D
Obviously
we
haven't
gone
the
cambridge
route
where
80
percent
is
housing.
10
percent
is
each
of
environment
and
historic,
but
I
think
I
remember
that
last
year
we
were
close
to
60
for
housing
and
here
we're
just
at
51.
So
I
just
wanted
to
understand
a
little
bit.
What
the
cpc
conversation
about
that
has
been
I'll.
A
F
I'll
jump
in
and
say
that
in
the
cpc
committee
hearings,
they
have
used
a
guiding
principle
of
50
for
affordable
housing
and
20
for
historic
preservation
and
opens
and
20
for
open
space,
leaving
that
10
to
to
augment
where
needed.
So
again,
it's
a
guiding
principle.
It
is
not.
You
know
it
is
not
cast
in
stone,
so
so.
G
Ultimately,
ultimately,
the
committee
will
they
have
the
option
to
go
big
any
year
they
want
to
in
terms
of
doing
60
or
more
for
housing.
I
think
for
now,
they've
just
decided
that
50
percent
was
going
to
go
as
allocated
to
housing.
20
to
the
other.
Two
categories
is
what
they,
what
they've
decided
to
date
but
they're
up
there.
Definitely
they
can
have
the
discussion
to
to
have
that
adjusted
at
any
point
in
time.
D
If,
especially,
if
we're
seeing
some
larger
dollars
just
would
just
would
flag,
I
think
I
talked
to
thousands
of
bostonians
about
this
issue,
and
I
mean
all
three
of
the
likes
of
the
stool
are
super
important
to
everybody.
So
it's
obviously
a
balancing
act,
but
I
think,
like
just
making
sure
I
would.
D
I
would
certainly
hate
to
see
that
housing
number
dip
below
half
the
pie,
and
I
think
that
where
there
are
opportunities
to
to
take
it
up
a
notch,
that
would
be
my
my
feedback
to
cpc
and
then
I
would
just
ask
them.
While
maureen
is
here
just
maureen,
I
missed
the
the
housing
number
on
the
capital
side,
the
2017.
Now
I
got
the
parks
and
historic
prez
one
and
I
got
all
the
operating
ones,
but
I
wondered.
A
D
No,
that
was
the
parks.
That
was
the
parks
capital
one.
I
think
I
don't.
Maybe
you
didn't
give
it.
Maybe
that's
why
I
pissed
it.
F
F
D
It
would
be
great
at
some
point.
This
could
be
a
follow-up
from
the
hearing,
but
just
to
understand,
while
we're
doing
that
snapshot
of
then
and
now,
and
I'm
super
grateful
to
maureen
for
bringing
those
numbers.
If
you
follow
this
hearing
on
an
annual
basis,
you
know
that
every
year
I
say
hey,
there
was
a
tracking
thing
put
into
the
ordinance
that
was
designed
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
supplanting
funds,
and
this
is
the
first
time
we've
actually
gotten
numbers
so
early.
D
But
yeah,
I
just
think,
and
it
probably
what
we
really
need
is
both
dnd
capital
and
also
to
understand
where
linkage
nht
stuff
has
gone
just
so
that
we
have
a
sense
of
the
whole
picture
and
and
again
can
feel
confident.
That
cpa
is,
is
augmenting
and
not
supplanting.
E
G
E
E
Yeah-
and
I
think
it'd
be
interesting
and
good
for
us
to
know
so
that
we
can
do
more
outreach,
so
we
can
know-
maybe
maybe
certain
neighborhoods
weren't,
as
involved
with
the
campaigning
and
and
and
that
that's
where
we
can
come
in
handy
and
so
I'd
love
to
see
a
more
more
representation
for
some
neighborhoods
here,
because
it's
what
an
incredible
source
of
funds
and
opportunity
to
build,
affordable
housing
to
preserve
historic
buildings
and
to
do
great
work
in
open
spaces.
E
I
know
a
lot
of
folks
in
our
neighborhood
from
matapan
and
high
park
want
to
do
a
lot
of
work
in
the
parks
that
we
have
here
and
if
they
knew
that
this
was
available.
Maybe
we
could
get
more
advocacy,
so
I'd
love
to
have
that
information
for
myself
and
I'm
sure
my
other
council
members
as
well.
Thank
you.

N
D
Sure,
thank
you,
and
there
are
lots
of
lots
of
these
projects
in
district
8
excited
to
see
a
whole
bunch
of
the
sort
of
beloved
buildings
in
the
district
get
some
some
help,
and
especially
when
we
talk
about
buildings
that
have
really
important
uses.
Like
you
know,
beacon
house
is
around
the
corner
for
me
and
it
houses.
D
You
know
a
very
large
number
of
low-income
elders
right
in
the
heart
of
beacon
hill,
something
people
don't
always
know
about,
and
it's
hard
for
a
building
like
that
to
cover
historic
restoration
costs
and,
obviously
the
historic
district.
You
know
we
want
them
to
be
done
up
to
standard,
but
we
don't
want
that
money
coming
out
of
the
money
that's
spent
on
resident
programming
and
all
of
the
like
important
purpose
things.
So
it's
that's
a
that's
a
great
example.
D
From
my
perspective
of
the
types
of
things
we
can
spend
this
on,
I
wondered
if
you
could
speak
a
little
bit
to
this
is
sort
of
a
question
for
you
again,
it's
sort
of
a
question
for
this
side
of
the
table.
Another
interest
of
mine-
and
we
can
talk
about
in
the
cpa
context
and
also
over
on
the
department
context,
is
sort
of
how
do
we?
How
does
the
city
drive
some
more
kind
of
like
city-wide
historic
resource
survey?
D
M
So
I
can
speak
to
the
part
about
community
commitment.
As
we
know,
in
order
to
get
historic
preservation
funding,
you
have
to
be
on
the
state
register
or
if
you're
found
to
have
historic
significance
and
you
were
left
off,
you
can
go
before
landmarks
to
get
your
historic
significance
and
move
forward.
M
We
have
a
strong
commitment
to
doing
that
for
underrepresented
areas
and
we
have
what
we
call
a
kind
of
capacity
building
projects
where
we
identify
that
the
historic
resource
is
really
important.
The
community
benefit
is
very
important,
but
maybe
historic
preservation
isn't
their
thing.
We
can't
expect
people
to
do
beacon
hill
type
of
work
everywhere.
We
want
them
to
do
their
mission,
so
we
have
been
able
to
work
in
a
policy
where
we
can
support
these
projects
with
project
planning,
cost
conditions,
assessments,
and
we
spend
more
time
with
these
type
of
projects.
M
There's
really
only
one
this
year,
a
previous
funding
year.
I
think
there
were
six
or
seven
in
which
we've
done
that,
and
the
hope
is
that
they
will
be
repeat
customers,
so
they
can
start
building
and
learning,
and
we
want
them
to
also
be
educators
within
their
community
to
build
that
resource
and
each
person
we
speak
to
say
we're
happy
to
do
an
info
session
with
you.
We're
happy
to
do
a
site
visit
so
making
sure
that
it's
not
just
the
fancy.
Historic
preservation
is
really
important
to
us.
Everybody
voted
on
this.
F
A
budget
and
using
that
for
a
survey
that
type
of
you're
well
aware
that
we
we
have
a
five
percent
budget
and,
yes,
there's
some
flexibility
in
there
for
administrative
budget
purposes
this
year,
we're
using
a
portion
of
it
for
the
jam
goldson
contract
that
you'll
be
hearing
a
bit
about
later.
With
regard
to
our
planning.
So
it's
certainly
something
that
it's
as
an
allowable
use,
certainly
within
the
administrative
again,
something
that
would
need
to
be
rfp,
something
that
would
need
to
be.
You
know,
administered
by
the
team,
but
yes,.
G
So,
and
under
the
statute
it's
most
likely,
a
survey
has
to
be
done
to
in
order.
The
committee
has
to
drive
that
initiation
to
want
that
done
in
order
to
help
them
make
a
decision
or
determination
on
a
certain
project.
So
it
has
to
be
something
that's
kind
of
put
forth
by
the
committee
to
allow
that
work
to
be
done.
D
G
Yeah,
absolutely,
I
think
that
would
be
a
great
idea.
I
think,
as
we
continue
to
do
education
and
engagement,
we're
trying
to
think
of
ways
as
to
when
we
come
when
we
meet
with
the
community
on
more
ways
to
be
innovative
and
how
we
can
draw
more
projects
from
each
cat
into
each
category,
so
that
we're
successfully
touching
every
parts
and
every
types
of
project
within
the
city
of
boston.
E
About
language
access
when
it
comes
to
outreach,
because
I'm
looking
at
these
stroke
preservation
projects-
I'm
like
these
are
great.
What's
missing
and
I
you
know
it
is
our
job
to
always
think
about
who's
missing
and
who's,
not
the
table
and
who
can
be
better
included.
And
you
know
in
some
of
these
project
proposals.
I
grew
up
in
a
historic
church
that
has
its
historic,
designation
and
it's
falling
apart.
E
But
the
members
of
the
church
predominantly
speak
haitian
crayol,
and
so
maybe
they
don't
know
that
cpa
funds
are
available
and
or
maybe
they
don't
have,
the
you
know
capacity
to
really
put
together
a
great
application.
I'm
not
sure
right,
but
I'm
just
saying
that.
I
think
that
we
can
probably
do
a
lot
more
work.
We
have
a
lot
of
diverse.
E
G
Thank
you
counselor
and
that
that
is
definitely
something
that
we've
identified
in
the
program.
Due
to
the
capacity.
As
you
said,
we
are
a
small
team
but
very
efficient,
but
we
if
there
is
one
weakness
or
one
area,
we
are
trying
to
work
on
it's
language
access.
So
we
definitely
have
our
eyes
on
that
and
that's
a
number
one
goal
for
us
to
improve.
E
C
G
So
community
preservation
act
was
driven
by
the
residents
of
the
city
to
pay
it
forward.
What
they
said
was
yes
to
a
one
percent
surcharge
to
say:
that's
this
money
could
go
towards
affordable
housing
parks,
improving
open
space
and
recreation,
which
is
parks,
playgrounds
and
also
historic
buildings
that
they
walk
by.
So
cpa
is
this
funding
resource
that
says?
Yes,
we
can
build
more
rental
units
in
your
neighborhood.
Yes,
we
can
give
you
an
opportunity
to
buy
a
home,
so
you
can
build
generational
wealth.
G
Yes,
we
can
fix
that
playground
around
the
corner
from
your
street.
There
you
need
a
new
slide,
a
new
or
just
a
new,
better
playground
where
the
equipment
is
much
better
and
open
space.
When
we
talk
about
open
spaces
is
creating
new
paths,
preserving
conservation,
land,
planting,
more
trees,
so
cpa
is
doing
money
in
those
three
areas
to
better
the
community.
G
G
It's
it's
guided
by
the
cpa
statute,
chapter
44b!
So
even
though
folks
hear
about
cpa
funds
and
we
give
away
money,
that's
a
great
thing,
but
it's
very
nuanced
on
how
we
can
spend,
spend
this
money
and
it
we
have
to
go
by
the
law.
So
we
have
to
follow
that
guidance.
Follow
that
chart
that
I
showed
within
the
slide
on
what's
an
allowable
use.
So
what
folks
usually
do
they
submit
an
eligibility
form?
G
We
and
the
team
we
go
through
and
we
talk
to
we
go
out
and
do
a
site
visit
and
talk
to
individuals
and
we
decide
if
their
project
is
eligible
and
if
it
is,
we
can
invite
them
in
to
do
an
application,
and
then
these
applications
are
presented
to
the
to
the
committee.
So
our
goal
is:
we
have
projects
that
are
in
the
pipeline.
Some
are
not
ready
quite
ready,
yet
we
try
to
prepare
them
and
those
that
are
ready
to
go
before
the
committee
can
go,
but
again
it
is
a
competitive
round.
G
So
not
everyone
is
fully
funded,
but
you
can
reapply
again
if
not
funded.
We
have
applicants
that
have
come
in
twice
and
was
not
funded
the
first
two
times
with
the
third
time
they
received
funding.
So
we
asked
folks
not
to
be
discouraged
but
to
kind
of
be
best
prepared,
because
when
you
receive
these
funding
after
you
receive
the
funding,
you
have
to
agree
to
the
terms
of
the
grant
agreement
which
is
which
what
we
say
is
you
have
to
agree
for
15
years
to
keep
this
historic
property
and
to
keep
this
open
space.
G
What
it
is,
affordable
housing
is
already
permanently
staying
there,
but
they
have
to
agree
to
the
terms
of
the
grant
agreement
as
well,
and
then
you
have
to
do
the
project
and
and
go
through
our
site
visits
and
pre-construction
visits
so
having
the
project
management
skills
as
well.
That's
also
something
that
we
look
for
and
also
cpa
funds
does
not
cover
maintenance
and
operations.
So
how
are
you
going
to
cover
the
maintenance
and
operations
for
your
building
or
for
this
space
for
the
next
15
years?
G
So
these
are
all
the
things
that
we
look
for
when
folks
come
in,
to
do
an
application
and
when
folks
really
come
into
our
information
session
and
understand
and
really
do
a
deep
dive
on
what
we
do.
They
have
a
better
understanding
if
they're
best
prepared
to
move
forward
and
our
goal
is
to
educate
and
get
folks
prepared.
C
Well,
there's,
thank
you
so
much
that
was
wonderful
and
I
do
agree.
You
guys
are
super
efficient.
This
book
is
fancy,
so
I
can
think
of
at
least
four
or
five
different
projects
right
now
in
my
district.
C
That
could
go
for
this
right
and
not
in
disagreement
with
the
sister
in
blue,
but
I
think
that
we
do
want
fancy
things
we
want
super
duper
fancy
things
in
mattapan
and
roxbury,
not
to
speak
for
my
counselor
there,
my
colleague
there
I'm
I
represent
district
seven,
but
then
in
the
interest
of
equity.
C
G
So
what
we
can
do
for
our
organization
and
I'll
have
my
colleagues
jump
in
as
well,
but
what
we
can
do
for
organizations
that
may
not
have
the
funding.
We
try
to
connect
them
to
resources
to
other
grant
programs
besides
cpa,
because
cpa
is
only
one
grant,
but
there
are
other
other
historic
preservation
grants
if
this
is
a
historic
preservation
project
that
can
possibly
help
them
towards
something
that
see
that's
not
allowable
into
for
cpa
funds,
so
it
all
depends
on.
G
We
have
to
learn,
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
the
project,
but
it
also
again
the
funding
has
to
go
under
chapter
44b
under
the
allowable
uses
of
cpa
funds.
But
if
cpa
funds
may
not
be
able
to
help
in
the
beginning,
we
will
try
to
connect
them
with
resources
that
can
help
them
get
started.
But
we
do
what
we.
What
courtney
was
referring
to
is
like
conditions
assessment.
G
So
that's
how,
when
we
we
help
with
a
with
planning
and
conditions
assessment
that
helps
in
that
area
and
I'll
help.
I
have
my
colleagues
jump
in
on.
A
O
M
Everybody
on
staff
comes
from
an
advocacy
background,
so
we
all
bring
to
bear
our
background
of
different
resources
organizations,
funding
sources
that
we
can
connect
people
to.
So
we
also
try
to
be
a
bit
of
a
house
for
other
resources
for
our
people
and
we
will
not
turn
somebody
away
because
they
do
not
have
resources.
We
will
work
with
them
to
get
them
to
a
point
where
they
do
have
the
resources
to
come
forward,
because
we
want
our
neighborhoods
to
be
strong.
C
Thank
you
so
much.
Finally,
it
would
seem
that
if
you
know
of
this
committee
or
if
you
know
of
your
organization,
then
you
have
access
and
looking
at
this,
that's
pretty
evident.
So
I
would
say
in
looking
at
the
project
and
looking
at
who
was
here
and
who
was
here
now
I
would
say
frankly,
we
need
to
do
better
with
access
and
I
would
love
to
help
with
that.
C
We're
actually
establishing
an
art
corridor
in
district,
seven
and
part
of
that
is
going
to
be
preservation.
Part
of
that
is
going
to
be
activating
spaces,
and
part
of
that
is
out
just
outdoor
spaces
or
commissioning
artists,
so
I'll
be
in
touch
soon
and
would
love
to
help
with
access.
G
D
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
say,
because
it
was
topical
related
to
the
landmarking.
I
was
testifying
virtually
up
at
the
state
house
today
about
the
local
landmarking
home
rule
petition
that
this
council
passed.
So
you
know
fingers
crossed
that
we'll
be
able
to
move
that
through
the
state
house.
If
we
do
then
we'll
be
able
to
landmark
things
of
significance
at
the
city
level,
and
I
think
that
would
do
that
would
take
a
big
step
for
us
in
terms
of
equity.
So.
I
G
A
A
A
Well,
it's
good
to
see
you
thank
you
for
joining
us
and
and
also
to
the
commercial
chief
and
commissioner,
so
nadine
they
have
the
floor.
Is
it.
G
Yes,
I'll
have
commissioner
woods
and
chief
white
hammond
start
off
with
any
kind
of
comments
they
have
and
I
will
and
I
will
then
read
through
the
projects
for.
P
Fy22,
okay,
so
just
wanted
to
know.
This
is
exciting.
I
think
we
are
excited
to
work
with
a
lot
of
the
community
groups
that
apply
to
cpa,
and
I
do
want
to
know
a
number
of
the
questions
that
folks
have
raised.
We
are
an
active
conversation
about
what
we
can
do
there,
clearly
our
state
restrictions,
but
we're
trying
to
think
as
creatively
as
possible
about
how
we
work
within
those
boundaries
to
bring
in
even
more
diversity
to
the
projects
that
are
brought
forward.
K
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
start
by
thanking
everyone
with
cpa.
Cpa
is
about
creating
possibilities
so
for
our
cabinet,
eeos,
with
historic
preservation
and
open
space.
A
lot
of
gratitude
to
the
members
that
spent
countless
hours
as
sheila
dylan,
mentioned,
reviewing
all
the
applications
sitting
through
and
reviewing
all
the
community
feedback
and
to
the
community
members
that
came
forward
with
these
ideas
really
grateful
for
all
of
that
as
boston
grows
and
diversity
diversity.
Hopefully,
diversity
continues
to
increase
as
well
as
density.
K
It's
important
to
have
open
spaces
to
connect
with
nature,
as
we
saw
during
this
pandemic
parks
were
the
place
where
everybody
was
welcomed,
so
whether
it
was
relaxation
rejuvenation
there's
a
lot
of
ours
in
here
that
I
could
use
relaxation
recreation
or
even
demonstration
parts
of
the
places
for
everybody
through
the
pandemic,
everybody
felt
welcomed
and
we
want
to
make
sure
the
parks
remain
open
for
all
people.

appreciate

by

and
the

and

team.

have
any

of

at

Council
black.
D
Do
you
think
the
question
and
a
note
on
the
note
front
just
that
the
evans
way
bridge
I'm
thrilled
about
it?
It's
definitely
a
fenway
project,
not
a
mission
hill
project.
We.
P
D
One
would
categorize
that
as
mission
hell,
I
feel
confident
saying
so.
I
especially
because
we
are
looking
at
neighborhood
distribution
of
projects,
and
I
think
that
mission
hill
is
like
a
little
bit
low
and
that's
something
that
I
hope
the
committee
will
consider
next
time
around.
I'd
really
appreciate
it
if
this
could
get
re
correctly
re-categorized
as
a
fenway
project,
but
that
said
it's
a
very
tons
of
people
use
that
pathway.
It
gives
access
to
local
recreational
fields,
all
kinds
of
things,
and
it
would
be
great
to
have
the
bridge
back.
D
I'm
so
excited
about
that,
and
then
question
was
just
I
mean,
I'm
I'm
excited
on
the
citywide
front
to
see
us
still
prioritizing
the
parcel
acquisition
fund
and
kind
of
that
goal.
City-Wise.
I
think
we
all
know
that
trying
to
trying
to
strategically
grab
parcels
for
open
space
or
wilds.
All
these
things
is
really
important
to
us,
and
so
I
just
wondered
chief.
If
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
P
I
mean
there
are
a
couple
that
we're
in
right
now,
where
it
wouldn't
necessarily
to
work
to
say
great,
we're
happy
to
see
that
and
we're
in
september,
we'll
put
in
an
application.
You
know
we
need
to
have
some
flexibility
to
be
able
to
move
nimbly,
so
we're
glad
that
we
have
those
resources.
P
I
mean
we're
still
trying
to
work
out
so,
as
we
have
sometimes
we'll
have
to
bring
things
back,
which
I
think
you
know
we're
working
out
how
we
can
make
these
processes
work
in
alignment
with
the
state
goals,
but
also
making
sure
that
if
the
parcel
is
available,
we
can
move
in
a
timeline
that
allows
the
landowner
to
see
us
as
a
viable
partner
and
not
think
that
they,
it
might
take
two
to
three
years
for
them
to
to
receive
funds.
A
Good,
mr
organizers,
counselor
aaron
murphy.
Q
As
a
city-wide
counselor,
I
am
definitely
advocating
in
rooting
for
all
of
these
projects
that
are
in
the
different
districts.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
your
thoughtful
consideration.
All
these
projects
are
so
wonderful,
so
I'm
hoping
we
fund
them
all
but
wanted
to
point
out
too,
as
a
former
bps
teacher
and
a
mom,
I
know
when
we
all
know
here
how
important
open
spaces
are,
for
the
you
know:
positive
mental
health
for
our
children
for
all
our
families,
so
I
definitely
want
to
put
a
plug
in.
Q
I
know
like
the
warren
prescott
school,
they
have
an
after-school
program
that
I
believe
runs
till
six
o'clock,
so
this
space
will
be
used
not
just
during
the
day
for
the
school
children
but
their
after-school
program
and
also
the
boys
and
girls
club
field
house.
These
open
spaces
are
there
for
the
neighborhood
kids
too
right.
We
have
our
structure,
we
have
the
school
we're
going
to
have
the
clubhouse,
but
these
outdoor
spaces
are
going
to
be
used
for
the
kids
in
the
neighborhood.
Q
A
Thank
you,
council
murphy,
and
this
would
conclude
the
open
space
and
recreation.
So
thank
you,
chief
and
thank
you,
commissioner,
for
your
time
and
talents
here
and
look
forward
to
working
with
with
both
of
you
moving
forward
as
well,
and
this
is
obviously
the
fun
part
which
is
obviously
the
public
testimony
part
and
I'm
going
to
recognize.
We
have
another
nadine.
We
we're
moving
to
public
testimony.
You
have
another
part
that.
G
I
do
I
wanted
to
talk
briefly
about
the
strategic
planning
that
we're
doing
for
the
program.
It's
just
a
few
slides.
I
can
close
out
really
quickly,
so
we
have
hired
a
firm,
jm
golson
to
complete
our
program.
Evaluation
they've
been
have
experience
for
the
last
20
years
in
community
preservation.
They'll
be
working
with
the
cpa
team
from
january
to
june
2022..
G
The
goal
their
deliverables
is
to
give
us
a
cpa,
a
new
cpa
plan,
they're
going
to
assess,
do
an
analysis
of
the
full
program
and
create
a
final
community
present
preservation
plan
for
the
committee
for
the
next
five
to
ten
years,
they've
created
some
great
mapping
maps
for
us
that
talks
about
they've.
G
You
can
see
here.
The
full
neighborhood
totals
that
projects
that
we
have
funded
to
date.
Next
slide
they've
give
you
spending
percentages
that
they
have
also
done
some
analysis
on
next
slide.
They've
narrowed
down
language
access
to
all
the
projects
we
have
funded
in
neighborhoods
that
have
a
language
access
need
and
then
the
last
slide
here
they've
also
identified
neighborhoods,
where
65
percent
of
the
residents
have
identified
themselves
with
black
indigenous
people
of
color,
including
asian
latinx,
pacific
islanders
or
middle
eastern
persons,
so
they're
doing
great
work.
A
Thank
you
very
much
dating
for
that,
and,
and
also
obviously,
for
the
work
that
maureen
castro
does
a
question
on
a
housekeeping,
because
I
know
we
got
a
little
off
track
with
covid.
I
know
that
there's
a
member
or
two
that
may
be
up
for
council
renewal.
A
So
if
you
can
get
us
the
information
based
on
the
terms
of
who,
whose
seat
potentially
needs
to
be
addressed,
so
that's
more
on
the
administrative
side.
So
if
you
not
for
now,
obviously-
but
we
can
talk
about
that-
yes
and
now
turn
it
over
to
the
public
testimony
for
folks
to
offer
public
testimony,
we
actually
chant
the
chamber.
We
have
a
hard
stop
at
7
30..
So
just
ask
that
folks
be
as
brief
as
possible.
I'm
also
going
to
take
the
chair
prerogative.
A
I
see
that
there's
some
school
children
here
who
may
have
homework
or
may
want
to
put
the
bruins
game
on
and
catch
a
little
bit
of
the
game.
So
I'm
going
to
take.
There's
a
family
here
in
front
of
me
and
there's
also
some
students
up
there
in
the
second
row
so
for
those
that
have
to
get
their
kids
home.
R
Hi
everyone,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
us.
My

We
are
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
here
today
at

committee
hearing
meeting.
R
R
R
O

in

boston,
east

resident
and
a
proud
volunteer
on
the
nantucket
light
ship,
and
I
have
some
I
could
go
on
and
on
about
the
ship
and
how
it's
like
a
time
machine
and
the
years
I've
brought
classrooms
there
and
how
much
it
means
to
them.
But
I'd
rather
let
the
kids
speak
for
themselves
and
then
we'll
have
a
few
more
people
talk
about
the

T

U
U
A
V
Good
evening
my
name
is
magdalena
ayad.
Thank
you,
chairman
flaherty
members
of
the
city
council
and
members
of
the
cpc
and
members
of
the
public,
I'm
here
to
testify
in
support
of
the
nantucket
lightship
lv112
application
to
the
community
preservation
act
fund
for
fiscal
year.
2022.,
I'm
executive,
director
and
leader
of
a
local
grassroots
501c3
organization
in
east
boston
called
the
harbor
keepers,
which
I
hope,
you've
heard
of
our
organization,
was
founded
to
promote
and
build
community
resiliency
and
foster
coastal
stewardship
through
education,
engagement
and
advocacy,
specifically
in
east
boston.
V
V
The
nantucket
lightship
lv-112's
homeport
is
boston.
Harbor
is
a
national
historic
landmark
and
a
one-of-a-kind
floating
lighthouse,
nicknamed
the
statue
of
liberty
of
the
sea
by
immigrants
coming
into
america.
The
nantucket
light
ship,
the
largest
u.s
flight
ship
ever
built,
was
the
first
u.s
landmark
encountered
by
ships
entering
the
united
states
from
europe.
V
We
have
collaborated
with
the
nantucket
lightship's
crew
of
tour
guides
and
volunteers
to
bring
people
of
diverse
backgrounds,
both
children
and
adults,
to
the
historic
nantucket
lb-112
from
different
cultures,
who
had
never
known
about
the
famous
fly
ship
or
that
it
was
even
birthed
on
the
east
boston
waterfront.
V
Moreover,
it
is
an
invaluable
opportunity
to
be
able
to
partner
with
the
nantucket
light
ship
and
help
tell
the
compelling
story
of
its
incredible
mission
and
service
to
our
nation.
Tourism
in
nantucket
are
offered
in
english,
spanish
and
portuguese,
not
just
in
english.
We're
not
just
telling
a
comparison,
compelling
story
through
these
tours,
but
providing
opportunities
for
local
residents
to
learn
about
important
maritime
history.
V
The
harbor
keepers
is
grateful
for
this
partnership
and
hopes
to
continue
to
partner
with
the
nantucket
light
ship.
However,
this
vessel
continues
to
need
funds
to
finish
its
vital
restoration
preservation
work.
I
can't
stress
enough
how
important
it
is
that
the
nantucket
light
chip
lv-112
received
the
cpa
funding
to
support
its
continued
restoration,
so
that
we
can
continue
to
share
its
history
with
more
people.
V
Nantucket
lightship
lv-112
also
served
as
a
converted
examination
vessel
named
the
uss
nantucket
1942-1945
during
world
war
ii
under
the
u.s
coast
guard
and
u.s
navy.
The
uss
nantucket
helped
to
protect
the
american
coal
supports
from
the
menacing,
not
cu,
boats
that
invaded
the
u.s
sea
lanes.
So
we
owe
it
to
those
who
sacrificed
their
lives,
aiding
maritime
commerce
and
helping
protect
our
homeland
to
continue
supporting
this
historic
vessel
through
the
cpa
funding.
Thank
you.
A
Very
good,
thank
you
and
thank
you
to
the
representatives
of
nantucket
lightship
museum.
Next
up,
I
see
there
are
three
representatives
of
sofia
snowplace.
If
all
three
would
like
to
come
down
or
if
there
was
a
representative
that
would
like
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
group
that
works
too,
I
know
that
I
see
patricia
rogervine,
deborah
malone
and
howard
luckett.
W
Yes,
mr
chairman,
my
name
is
patty
rogovin
and
I
have
brought
with
me
I'm
the
president,
ceo
of
sophia
snow
place,
and
I
brought
with
me
two
residents.
I
wanted
to
express
to
you
to
you
from
them
and
from
the
other
residents
of
our
senior
living
facility,
how
grateful
we
are
and
excited.
We
are
of
the
prospects
of
having
this
resource
to
continue
our
work
on
our
own
vernal
pool
and
and
more
accessibility
into
allendale
woods
that
we
that
we
buffet.
W
So
we
just
really
came
tonight
to
say
thank
you,
and
we
want
to
express
our
huge
thank
you
to
the
staff
of
the
community
preservation
act
because
of
all
the
work
and
hard
work
that
they've
done.
Howard
has
been
with
us
and
he
was
one
of
the
first
individuals
in
2008
to
begin.
The
cleanup
of
the
vernal
pool,
so
howard
luckett,
came
tonight
to
continue
that
work
and
deborah
malone
has
acted
very
aggressively.
W
W
A
We
have
someone
here
from
harbor
keepers.
Is
it
looks
like
magdalena
right
so
magdalena's
here
all
right,
gotcha
and
robert
mannion?
I
see
I
see
reverend
laura
ruth
jarrett
welcome
come
forward,
and
I
know
that
you
initially,
I
think,
may
have
been
signing
up
online
but
you're
here
in
person.
So
it's
great
to
see
you
and
you
have
the
floor
for
you
to
state
your
name
and
affiliation
for
the
record.
Thank.
X
You
so
much
my
name
is
reverend,
laura
ruth
jared
and
I'm
a
senior
pastor
at
hope.
Central
church
in
jamaica,
plain
we're
so
grateful
to
the
cpa,
staff
and
the
cdc
the
committee
and
to
have
the
opportunity
to
apply
for
and
be
put
forward
for.
A
community
preservation
act,
grant
our
building
houses,
the
work
of
multiple
groups
in
our
community,
the
boston
city,
singers,
youth
unscripted,
urban
improv,
iglesias,
intergrate,
a
ballet
school
led
by
two
colombian
dancers
from
the

multiple
12-step

and
a

Currently
in
our
congregation,
we're
working
on
our
third
round
of
reparations
in
boston
in
2015.
That
was
seven
years
ago.
The
wealth
gap
between
black
households
and
white
households
between
latino
households
and
white
households
was
about
a
quarter
of
a
million
dollars.
The
net
worth
of
black
households
was
eight
dollars
and
latino
households
was
27.
X
if
we
were
to
give
a
quarter
of
a
million
dollars
to
every
household
in
our
congregation
households
of
african
descent.
Out
of
the
slavery
experience,
it
would
only
take
us
four
million
dollars
to
close
this
wealth
gap.
We
think
that
we
can
do
this
in
our
congregation
and
include
the
support
desired
and
necessary
for
the
households
in
our
congregation.
X
We
are
imagining
and
praying
about
this
possibility.
This
third
opportunity
to
both
offer
and
receive
repair,
so
do
so
necessary.
So
saving
your
support
to
re
repair,
our
building,
our
windows,
so
that
all
this
other
work
may
go
on
is
deeply
appreciated
and
is
holy,
and
we
believe
it
is
just
work.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
thank
you
for
considering
hope.
Central

A

A
J
But
good
evening,
chairman
flaherty
members
of
the
city
council
and
committee
preservation
committee
members-
I
am
dr
charles
anderson
president
and
ceo
at
the
demick
center
I'd
like
to
thank
you
very
much
for
welcoming
us
here.
It
feels
really
good
to
be
in
person
after
so
long.
We're
deeply
grateful
for
your
consideration
of
funding
for
the
demick
center.
Our
community
preservation
fund
project
supports
the
final
restoration
of
the
exterior
of
our
dr
marie
jafshevska
building.
This
includes
roof
replacement,
extensive
carpentry
repairs
and
masonry
restoration.
J
This
is
urgent
work
that
paves
the
way
to
launch
our
restoring
hope,
capital
campaign
to
fully
renovate
the
inside
of
the
building,
where
we'll
create
a
new
men's
clinical
stabilization
services
program
to
support
those
dealing
with
drug
addiction
and
this
vital
treatment
that
many
are
seeking.
This
is
the
vital
second
stage
of
treatment
right
after
inpatient
detox.
J
Our
men's
clinical
stabilization
will
be
the
only
men's
clinical
stabilization
program
in
the
city
of
boston,
together
with
our
women's
css,
which
is
clinical
stabilization
services,
which
will
move
into
the
z
building.
We
will
reach
more
than
a
thousand
men
and
women
annually
and
prepare
people
to
remain
epidemic
for
the
next
phases
of
treatment
in
our
residential
and
outpatient
recovery
programs.
J
J
It
is
located
directly
across
demik
street
from
the
dr
lucy
sewell
center
for
acute
treatment
services.
Our
inpatient
detox,
once
men
and
women
complete
detox.
They
can
transition
across
the
street
to
the
new
css
program
to
continue
their
recovery
journey.
We
are
grateful
for
the
generous
past
commitment
of
the
community
preservation
fund
to
launch
the
exterior
restoration
of
the
z
building.
J
Our
continued
partnership
for
this
current
project
will
help
us
double
the
capacity
to
save
more
lives
of
people
impacted
by
addiction.
This
is
the
most
fitting
way
to
honor
our
160
year
anniversary
in
our
roxbury
community.
We
deeply
appreciate
the
consideration
of
the
city
council
and
the
strong
support
of
our
community.
Thank
you
again.
You're
good.

The
edgewater
neighbors
are
actually
meeting
tonight.
Tuesday,
is
when
the
stewards
meet
to
plan
the
care
and
maintenance
and
the
programming
and
activities
of
the
food
forest,
so
they're
meeting
tonight
doing
their
spring
planning
and
the
the
food
forest.
These.
These
stewards
identified
a
special
childhood
connection
that
some
of
the
neighbors
had
with
the
black
walnut
trees
that
were
already
on
the
site,
and
so
they
really
designed
their
food
for
us
to
protect
and
preserve.
Z
You
know
the
many
healthy
trees
that
were
already
there,
and
these
walnuts
are
just
one
example
of
the
ways
in
which
this
community-led
design
really
is
is
has
a
lot
of
passion
and
and
power
for
these
neighbors,
and
we
are
honored
that
it
was
recognized
as
rookie
garden
of
the
year
by
mayor
wu
at
the
trustees
annual
gardeners
gathering
last
month.
So
we're
really
excited
about
this
project.
We're
really
grateful
for
the
support.
Thank
you.
AA
Hi,
how
are
you
I'm
heather
o'brien,
I'm
the
education
coordinator
at
easty,
farm
in
east
boston,
and
thank
you
for
not
making
me
follow
bob's
canal,
because
it's
a
great
project.
I
just
want
to
express
my
gratitude
to
everybody.
Everybody
in
the
city
that
voted
for
this
everybody
who
worked
on
this
for
funding
the
secret
garden
at
6,
chelsea,
terrace,
east
boston
is
an
environmental
justice
community
with
very
little
open
space.
AA
Most
of
the
open
space
in
east
boston
comes
from
the
commonwealth's
number
one
polluter,
it's
a
place
where
children
don't
have
backyards,
we're
a
minority
majority
community
and
there
is
no
open
space.
It
took
a
lot
of
work
to
find
this,
and
what
we
found
was
a
really
derelict
contaminated
site
with
what
what
could
we
possibly
do
with
it?
This
is
what
is
possible
it.
There
is
going
to
be
a
geothermal
greenhouse
on
this
site.
AA
AA
A
AB
Great
to
see
everyone,
and
thank
you
for
not
having
me-
follow
the
kids.
They
were
amazing
what
a
relief,
but
I
thank
you,
council,
flaherty
and
chair
flaherty
and
vice
chair
bach
long
time,
no
see
counselor,
but
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
say
a
few
words
about
our
project,
you
know
we're
very
grateful
for
this
funding.
AB
You
know
what
I'd
like
to
say.
First
of
all,
is
I
had
no
idea.
Those
were
many
projects
stayed
in
that
this
was
our
first
time
applying
for
this
funding
and
she
really
helped
us
navigate.
She
was
always
available
and
supportive,
but
I
had
no
idea
you
made
us
feel
like
we're
the
only
one
and
he
had
so
many.
AB
So
thank
you
for
all
your
great
work,
but
this
funding
will
really
help
us
to
bring
to
life
apostle
land
in
the
harbour-born
community,
which
will
serve
the
greater
boston
community,
two
very
significant
boston,
public
schools,
which
are
steps
away
from
this
facility
and
as
well
as
a
harbour
point
community.
So
this
is
a
city-wide
facility.
AB
The
the
outdoor
space
which
they
didn't
touched
on
is
really
really
important
to
us.
When
we
started
this
process,
we
had
some
great
plans
in
mind
to
build
indoor
facility
which
is
lacking
in
the
city,
especially
for
the
youth,
and
we
put
together
a
couple
of
really
awesome
committees,
a
youth
advisory
board
and
an
adult
leaders
board
community
leaders
from
all
over
the
city
to
hear
what
they
would
like
to
see,
and
I
will
tell
you
they
really
helped
us
to
to
change
the
design
of
the
facility.
AB
The
program
that's
going
to
take
place
and
it
was
so
important-
and
we
heard
time
and
time
again,
that
the
open
space
was
critical.
So
we
really
addressed
that,
with
the
help
of
the
community
and
and
I'll
say
to
our
councilor
murphy,
council,
warrell
and
council
baker
were
out
several
weeks
ago
to
meet
with
all
the
youth
on
that
on
that
board,
the
youth
advisory
board
and
what
a
night
it
was
nothing
better
or
wiser
than
to
listen
to
the
youth
of
the
city.
AB
So
so
I
thank
the
councils
for
taking
the
time,
and
this
is
a
partnership,
boys
and
girls.
Clubs
of
dorchester
we've
been
in
the
community
for
50
years
and
we're
partnering
with
the
martin
richard
foundation
to
really
pull
this
project
off.
It's
a
big
undertaking,
it's
very
important
for
the
city.
We
operate
three
clubs
right
now,
all
in
dorchester,
so
we've
been
at
it
for
a
long
time
and
very
very
excited
about
the
opportunity
of
what
we
can
do
here
and
so
just
to
follow
up
on
what
fading
said.
AB
Also,
so
you
get
a
visual
of
what
it
is.
It's
we
have
a
front
lawn
in
garden
that
are
fronts
mount
vernon
street.
We
heard
from
the
community
that
was
really
important,
an
open-air
cafe,
which
is
pretty
cool
gardens
at
street
level,
as
well
as
a
rooftop
garden
and
we'll
have
to
work
with
our
friends
back
here,
yeah
on
that
so
playscapes
outdoor
event
in
exercise
areas,
fitness
areas,
a
rain,
garden,
trees,
plantings
and
flowers,
my
personal
favorite,
a
splash
pad.
AB
So
it's
quite
a
facility.
This
funding
is
a
really
important
piece
of
of
accomplishing
this
amazing
outdoor
space.
So
so
I
thank
everyone
for
their
time
and
interest
in
this
project,
and-
and
you
know
what
I
I
think
I
would
honestly
say
that
council
president
flynn
said
something
really
important
earlier,
which
was
these
types
of
projects
bring
people
together,
and
lord
knows,
we
need
more
of
that
these
days.
Thank
you
all.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
bob.
I
know
bill.
Grogan
is
next
and
also
a
lenny
gleekus.
If
you
can
and
then,
if
anyone
has
not
heard
your
name,
because
that
concludes
the
two
sign-in
sheets
for
public
testimony
for
those
that
are
present-
and
I
know
that
we
have
four
folks
that
are
on
zoom,
so
we
have
bill
grogan.
I
know
that
we
have
hellenic
leakers,
so
anyone
else
that
has
not
heard
their
name
called
feel
free
just
to
get
in
the
queue
after
the
next
two
speakers.
So
welcome.
A
You
have
the
floor.
Great.
AC
Bill,
thank
you,
councillor
flaherty
councillor
bach
and
other
members
of
the
city
council.
I'm
bill
grogan,
the
president
of
the
planning
office
for
urban
affairs
and
I'm
here
with
our
development
partner,
donald
alexis
from
caribbean
integration,
community
development,
the
planning
office,
urban
affairs
and
caribbean
integration.
AC
I
would
like
to
thank
council
arroyo
and
his
staff,
as
well
as
they
dean
and
the
cpc
staff
for
their
assistance
through
this
process.
This
type
of
opportunity
would
not
be
able
to
be
provided
without
the
support
of
community
preservation
act
funds.
With
the
support
of
these
funds,
we
were
able
to
complement
the
new
housing
opportunities
with
which
much
needed
recreational
opportunities
for
children
of
all
ages
in
the
community
of
matapan
to
come
together
and
play,
and
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
donald
to
say
a
few
words
as
well.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
AD
AD
Chairman
bark
and
the
city
councilors
and
didin
the
cpa
team,
so
I'm
the
president
of
the
caribbean
integration,
community
development,
so
we
could
develop
kodi
village
with
the
plan
office
for
urban
affairs.
So
I'm
very
grateful
for
the
funding
for
lacking
for
the
open.
AD
Space,
the
addition
of
the
playground
would
present
a
full-time,
a
full
turnaround
of
cody
ford's
side,
a
side.
That's
been
a
blight
and
ice.
I
saw
to
the
community
for
years,
so
that's
big
volume
to
the
disinvestment
in
maratpan,
so
we're
very
happy
to
work
with
the
city
to
turn
that
site
to
community
asset,
as
bill
mentioned,
76
unit
of
of
affordable
housing
and
your
family
start
moving
in
and
the
pack
will
be
like.
AD
You
know
the
last
piece
so
that
we
can
add
into
the
comments
how
we
corridor,
where
families
and
and
young
and
children
can
find
a
place
where
they
can
grow
and
play
into
so
I
wanna
say
thank
you
for
the
for
the
funding
and
we're
looking
forward
to
to
complete
the
pack
soon.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
And
last
for
folks,
the
first
one
to
sign
up
is
the
lenny
gleekus
and
I'm
all
before
lenny
testifies.
I'm
I'm
gonna
be
turning
it
over
to
the
vice
chair.
I
have
a
730
commitment
in
the
community
and
there
are,
I
think,
four
people
willing
to
or
sign
up
to
testify
on
zoom
that
vice
chair
bach
will
handle
and
obviously
we'll
be
working
together
as
a
committee
to
try
to
get
a
committee.
Favorable
committee
report
turned
around
probably
in
the
next
week
or
so
so
elena.
AE
Thank
you,
hello.
Everyone.
My
name
is
eleni
gleckas,
I'm
director
of
historic
preservation
at
the
boston
architectural
college.
On
behalf
of
the
bac,
I
want
to
thank
the
city
council
committee,
the
cpa
staff
and
mayor
wu
for
allocating
resources
to
help
repair
and
restore
the
bac's
boylston
street,
richard
richardson,
romanesque
style
building
for
future
generations
to
learn
from
and
appreciate
from
its
humble
beginnings
as
headquarters
of
boston's
mounted
police
to
the
conversion
of
the
institute
for
contemporary
art.
AE
Thanks
to
the
cpa
program,
they
will
now
have
a
unique
opportunity
to
participate
in
the
large-scale
restoration
project
from
accomplished
preservation,
professionals
in
the
boston
area
and
again
I
would
really
like
to
thank
the
cpa
staff
and
has
preservation
consultants,
particularly
lethal
dean,
brown
and
courtney
whelan
for
helping
us
navigate
this
very
complex
process,
we're
a
very
small
institution
and
we're
first-time
applicants.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
all
your
support
means
a
lot
to
us.
D
Great,
thank
you
so
much
eleni
and
obviously
the
architectural
college
is
near
and
dear
to
my
heart
as
a
district
8
counselor,
so
very
pleased
to
hear
you
here
in
person
I'll
give
I'm
about
to
go
to
the
zoom
testimony
so
I'll.
Just
give
anybody
who's
here,
one
more
chance
to
rush
down
and
claim
the
microphone
all
right.
Seeing
then
we're
going
to
go,
I'm
going
to
be
going
on
zoom,
first
to
lydia,
low,
then
sheryl,
dickinson
and
then
joe
cristino.
D
So
if
we
can
get
the
presentation
down
and
the
speakers
on
zoom
up
on
the
screen
here
in
the
hall,
that
would
be
great
and
then
as
soon
as
we've
got
as
soon
as
I
see
you
lydia,
I
will
give
you
the
sign
to
go.
D
Okay,
all
right,
I
see,
we've
got
lydia
on
the
screen.
Lealo,
please
go
ahead
with
your
testimony.
AF
Thank
you,
I'm
lydia
lowe
and
I'm
the
executive
director
of
the
chinatown
community
land
trust,
I'm
very
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
request
funding
in
support
of
the
preservation
of
95
hudson
street.
I'm
also
very
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
testify
online,
which
is
very
convenient,
and
this
this
request
is
for
masonry,
restoration
and
structural
repairs
at
a
19th
century,
brick
row
house
in
chinatown,
one
of
a
number
of
historic
properties
and
historic
row
house
streets
that
are
part
of
chinatown's
immigrant
history
trail.
That's
currently
in
development.
AF
So
we
are
coming
to
community
preservation
and
to
the
city
council
for
a
grant,
because
many
historic
properties
in
chinatown
are
in
disrepair
and
suffer
from
structural
issues
related
to
the
history
and
impact
of
highway
construction
in
the
1950s
and
because
of
those
impacts,
we
had
underestimated
the
needed
construction
costs
at
the
time
that
we
acquired
the
property,
we're
well
into
construction
at
this
point
and
we're
ready
to
complete
the
structural
and
exterior
repairs
needed
this
year
with
the
support
of
community
preservation
resources.
Thank
you.
D
Great,
thank
you
so
much
lydia,
always
great
to
hear
from
you
and
excited
this
is
included
in
the
slate
next
up
is
cheryl
dickinson
cheryl
evening.
AG
Oh
good
evening,
I'm
cheryl
dickinson
and
I'm
the
president
of
the
friends
of
craig
park
on
behalf
of
the
friends
of
craig
park.
I
share
our
thanks
with
the
first
with
the
boston
taxpayers
who
so
generously
fund
the
projects
supported
by
the
community
preservation
act
to
fading
brown
for
her
exemplary
leadership
and
the
community
preservation
committee,
whose
diligence
and
ongoing
support
for
worthy
projects
that
ultimately
lead
to
a
greater
quality
of
life
in
boston
and
finally,
to
the
city
council
for
trusting
those
of
us
recipients.
AG
By
endorsing
the
cpc
recommendations
with
your
vote
of
confidence,
the
cpa
is
unique
in
that
its
funds
have
allowed
a
grassroots
organization,
the
friends
of
craig
park,
to
do
the
impossible,
that
is,
to
transform
a
garbage
strewn,
an
overgrown
site
into
a
unique
and
welcoming
park
in
the
heart
of
the
south
end.
The
park
stands
as
a
testament
to
its
namesake
alan
rowan
kreit,
a
renowned
african-american
artist,
neighbor
and
gentleman,
and
to
our
diverse
neighborhood,
who
joins
to
make
that
park
their
own.
The
outcome
will
be
greater
than
the
physical
park.
D
Great,
thank
you
so
much
cheryl.
Thank
you
for
waiting
all
this
time
and
joining
us
virtually
next
up
is
joe,
christina
joe.
L
Hi
everybody
thank
you
for
the
time
and
appreciate
you
letting
me
join
virtually
as
well,
so
my
name
is
joe
carcino
and
I'm
the
president
of
south
boston,
little
league,
and
I'm
here
in
support
of
the
project
to
restore
the
youth
baseball
field
at
christopher
lee
playground
in
south
boston.
L
I'd
first
like
to
thank
the
city
council
for
their
consideration
of
our
cpa
project
to
restore
the
youth
baseball
field.
Currently,
the
ball
field
is
in
very
distressed
condition.
Over
recent
years,
we've
had
to
cancel
several
activities
for
the
children
due
to
unplayable
conditions
even
several
days
after
rainfall.
There
are
also
other
player
safety
concerns,
with
the
poor
conditions
of
the
poor
field
conditions
and
how
the
bench
and
spectator
areas
are
situated.
L
This
project
has
received
overwhelming
support
from
our
community
even
beyond
the
families
of
the
250
participants
in
our
league.
We
also
have
the
support
of
local
elected
officials
and
community
groups,
including
the
city
point,
neighborhood
association,
gate
of
heaven,
neighborhood
association
and
the
city
side,
neighborhood
association,
who
all
recognize
the
benefits
this
project
will
provide.
L
D
Y
Y
Y
It
is
all
of
us
coming
together
and
realizing
the
need
to
preserve
our
community
and
therefore
pulling
our
resources
together
to
make
it
happen.
It's
it's
something.
I'm
I'm
really
proud
of.
I'm
a
cpc
member
myself,
I'm
on
the
community
preservation
committee.
I'm
really
happy
to
have
served
on
that
and,
with
your
permission,
chair
bach
would
could
I
read
the
rest
of
the
council.
The
committee
members
names.
Y
Great,
so
our
our
city
has
more
than
63
or
64
boards
and
commissions,
and
most
of
those
are
all
of
those
are,
are
served
by
volunteers
in
our
city
and
and
that's
part
of
how
our
city
works,
and
that's
something
that
I
think
we
should
appreciate
on.
The
community
preservation
committee,
chair,
felicia
jacques,
and
from
the
kate
bennett
from
the
bpda
carol:
downs,
representing
parks,
commission,
william
epperson,
representing
the
concom
michael
parker,
and
four
community
members
at
large,
all
appointed
by
the
city
council,
matt,
kiefer,
madeline,
tina,
ying,
wang
and
myself.
Y
So
there
are
nine
members
on
the
community
preservation
committee
who
who
have
volunteered
and
went
through
every
project
and
and
discussed
in
great
detail
in
an
open
and
transparent
manner,
with
input
from
the
community
to
decide
on
this
list
of
projects.
That
is
in
front
of
you.
The
council
and
I
appreciate
your
consideration
of
this
recommendation.
Y
I
also
wanted
to
thank
the
the
this
amazing
feature
of
our
city.
Is
here
because
of
advocates
like
you,
chair
bach,
and
yes,
yes
for
better
boston
and
maha,
and
all
many
of
those
advocates
now
are
in
the
city
hall.
Y
So
I'm
really
appreciative
of
those
initial
actions
that
led
to
us
having
this
amazing
facility
for
for
us
to
afford
more
housing
for
us
to
be
able
to
build
open
spaces
and
for
us
to
preserve
the
amazing
history,
historic
features
of
our
city,
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
councillor
anderson's
point
about
access
to
information
and
counselor
louisiana's
point
about
how
this
should
be
made
more
accessible
to
immigrants,
and
these
are
important
points
and
really
appreciate
those
and
counselor
bach
your
point
about
giving
priority
to
housing.
Y
Also,
I'm
happy
to
talk
more
about
that
and
how
it
went.
We
actually
initially
allocated
about
58.5
percent
for
housing
and
then
ended
up
with
this.
Some
of
these
processes
is
you're
chasing
moving
targets.
Y
People
should
know
that
if
you
just
google
boston,
community
preservation
you'll
get
to
this
page,
and
if
you
look
for
the
eligibility
form,
you
will
see
that
and
you
can
already
apply,
and
you
can
also
sign
up
there
daddy
mentioned
that
once
you
sign
up,
then
you
can
go
to
the
meetings
and
learn
more
and
you
need
to
learn
more
and
the
nuances
and
all
of
that
stuff.
So
you
can
sign
up
right
there
using
your
email
address.
Y
Once
you
go
to
boston.gov
cpa
and
we
also
appreciate
the
input
from
the
departments-
and
that
is
really
helpful
to
us
in
determining
all
the
various
deep
and
complicated
aspects
of
these
applications
and
for
the
departments,
the
relevant
departments,
to
know
them
really
well
and
to
be
able
to
prioritize
what
is
important
to
them.
That's
good
input
and
advice
and
guidance
to
us.
So
we
appreciate
such
guidance
from
the
housing
department,
from
the
eeos
from
and
and
hopefully
in
the
future,
the
office
of
immigrant
advancement
and
the
office
of
economic
opportunity
and
inclusion
as
well.
Y
The
more
city
departments
and
agencies
get
involved
in
this,
the
better.
It
is
because
we
all
get
to
cast
our
eyes
on
that
and
give
our
perspectives
on
that
and
that's
helpful
to
the
committee
and
once
again
I
want
to
also
thank
the
staff.
This
is,
as
they
themselves
have
said,
it's
a
small
but
mighty
team,
and
it
is
a
lot
of
work
on
them
and
they
they
come
through
every
time
and
their
suggestions
and
recommendations
to
us
are
also
very
helpful
to
us.
Y
So,
thank
you,
everybody
and
most
of
all,
thank
you
for
to
everyone
who
writes
the
application.
Not
everybody
who
applies
to
cpa
is
a
grant
writer.
They
don't
know
how
to
do
this,
but
they
still
step
up
and
do
the
application
really
appreciate
that
and
appreciate
the
technical
help
from
the
from
the
cpa
staff
as
well.
Thank
you,
chebach
and
council
members.
D
D
Not
only
are
they
putting
a
ton
of
time
into
this,
but
most
of
them
are
also
sitting
on
another
commission,
but
many
of
the
chairs
involved,
and
so,
although
cunnin
actually
has
a
an
at-large
seat
but
is
also
sitting
on
another
commission
for
us,
but
we're
very
we're
very
grateful
for
just
the
extraordinary
volunteer,
work
and
kind
of
above
and
beyond
work
that
folks
do
on
behalf
of
the
city
in
this
capacity.
D
So
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
sticking
with
us
to
the
end
here
and
you
know
we're
gonna.
We
are,
I
think
we
have
exhausted
public
testimony,
both
in
person
and
online.
So
in
a
minute
I'm
gonna
close
us
out,
but
before
I
do,
I
just
want
to
give
my
colleague
councillor
murphy,
an
opportunity
for
a
closing
statement.
Q
Who
applied
and
just
excited
to
see
all
of
these
wonderful
projects
funded
and
hoped
to
visit
many
of
them?
Looking
through
this
booklet?
It's
lots
of
great
things
going
on
across
the
city
and
glad
that
we
have
this
organization
and
thank
you
fading
for
all
the
work
you
do
and
your
organization,
your
your
team,
is
amazing.
So
thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
councillor,
murphy,
all
right,
and
then
I
have
two
things,
so
one
is
just
on
a
on
a
district
council
front.
I
just
I
have
to
put
on
the
record
my
strong
support
for
these.
The
projects
at
the
boston,
architectural
commission,
the
community
church,
the
nichols
house,
beacon,
house,
vilna,
schuel
and
the
huntington
theater,
along
with
the
esplanade
and
evans
way.
D
Those
are
things
in
district
8
and
I
would
be
remiss
not
to
name
each
of
them.
We're
very
excited
about
all
those
projects.
I
also
as
the
historian
on
the
council
want
to
do
a
special
underlining
and
we
didn't
talk
about
it
when
we
had
the
preservationist
up,
but
the
funding
for
the
city
archives
project,
I
think,
is
really
exciting.
D
There
are
there's
this
whole
set
of
books
of
women
who
registered
to
vote
right
around
the
time
that
the
amendment
passed
and
women
were
able
to
vote,
and
initially
we
had
been
allowing
women,
apparently
just
to
vote
in
school
committee
elections
even
before
that,
and
then
suddenly
they
were
able
to
vote
in
all
the
elections.
D
And,
interestingly,
those
like
types
of
registration
books
are
an
amazing
source
of
historical
detail
about
people,
and
we
have
way
more
of
that
kind
of
information
about
men
because
they
typically
are
the
ones
registering
for
all
kinds
of
things.
And
so
the
fact
that
we
have
these
detailed
books
with
all
this
historical
information
about
all
these
women
in
our
city.
D
It's
hugely
exciting.
It's
a
really
valuable
resource
and
right
now
those
haven't
been
kind
of
digitized
and
cataloged
and
indexed
in
a
way
that
you
could
like
easily
use
them
from
a
research
perspective.
So
I
just
as
a
archive
nerd,
want
to
say
that
that's
a
really
exciting
project-
and
I
know
that
the
archives
wanted
to
be
here
tonight
and
weren't
able
to
so.
D
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
little
a
little
plug
for
that
one
and
then,
in
my
capacity
of
having
taken
over
from
the
chair,
just
want
to
say
I
I
think
the
chair's
intention
is
to
author
a
favorable
committee
report
and
recommend
that
the
council
support
the
slate
from
a
housekeeping
perspective.
It
takes
a
little
bit
of
time
to
write
a
committee
report
and
because
this
is
fairly
late
on
tuesday
night,
it
will
probably
happen
for
the
wednesday
meeting
following
so
it
won't
be
tomorrow.
D
It'll
likely
be
a
week
from
tomorrow,
but
nobody
should
take
that
untoward.
I
think
the
chair
is
very
excited
and
supportive
of
the
slate
and
and
looking
forward
to
making
a
favorable
recommendation,
and
then
I
just
want
to.
I
want
to
thank
again
the
the
cpa
staff,
our
treasury
staff,
it's
just
yeah,
you
guys
do
amazing
work
and
every
thank
you
to
everybody
from
all
the
departments
who
testified
tonight
and
and
really
to
all
of
the
community
folks
who
have
supported
and
dreamed
up
these
projects.
D
This
is
this
is
really
what
we
had.
What
we
had
all
hoped
to
see
when
we
when
we
pushed
this
through,
and
so
I
think
you
will
have
heard
me-
ask
a
number
of
kind
of
programmatic
questions
tonight.
D
This
is
still
a
program
in
its
infancy
in
the
city,
and
so
I
think
there
are
always
ways
that
we
can
think
about
everything
from
kind
of
access
to
design,
and
you
know
how
we're
how
we're
structuring
everything
programmatically,
but
that's
within
the
context
of
a
very
good
thing
that
we're
doing
together-
and
my
last
thank
