its
public
process
that
resulted
in
the
developer
designation
and
this
following
conveyance
vote
request
to
refresh
the
Commission's
memory.
A
community
notification
was
mailed
in
September
of
2018
to
inform
of
the
indies
intent
to
issue
an
RFP
for
the
parcel.
A
request
for
proposal
was
issued
on
October
of
2018,
and
one
proposal
was
received
in
response
to
the
RFP
in
November
of
2018.
D
Pfc
approved
tentative

I've

This

in
the
Highland

of
Roxbury.
The
site
comprises
a

40
foot
square
square

E
The
parcel
has
been
Indian
Dee's
inventory
for
26
years
now,
after
it
was
taken
through
tax
foreclosure,
the
site
is
currently
used
as
parking
by
butters
and
local
community
members.
It's
tucked
away
behind
this
auto
body
shop
in
the
back
here,
so
D&D
conducted
a
public
process
that
resulted
in
this
voter
request.
Dandy
worked
with
community
partners
to
release
an
RFP
for

A

Also
known

applied
to
the
RFP
and
we'll
start
determined

the
eligibility
criteria,
they
were
invited

2019
and
based
on
community
feedback
in
D&D
review
of
all
eligible
applications
against
the
RFP
evaluation
criteria.
We
recommend
the
tentative
developer
designation
of
deep.
E
This
deep
is
the
development
arm
of
a
local
nonprofit
organization,
called
youth,
build
Boston,
which
has
provided
on-the-job
training
in
the
building
trades
for
underserved
young
people
in
Boston
for
28
years
now,
so
deep
is
proposing
a
three-story
commercial
building
for
workforce
development
for
youth
build
Boston.
The
building
will
comprise
of
a
woodshop
on
the
first
floor
classrooms
and
computer
space.
On
the
second
floor
and
community
meeting
space
on
the
third
floor,
they
have
completed
multiple
redevelopment
projects
in
Boston,
including
several
in
partnership
with
D&D.
E
Their
offer
price
is
$100,
reducing
the
sales
price
to
$100
as
necessary
to
support
and
make
possible
the
public
purpose
of
Workforce
Development
in
support
of
a
local
nonprofit.
Their
capacity
and
existing
business
relationships
suggest
that
they're
well
positioned
to
complete
this
project
and
finally,
Dudley
economic
and
private
partners.

is
a
Boston
based
organization
and
offers
a
strong

and
inclusion
plan.
E
In
summary,
if
Pfc
approves
the
boat
requests,
it
will
result
in
the
following
public
benefits:
workforce
training,
space
for
a
local

that
provides
on-site
job
training,
opportunities
for
underserved

in
the
building

a
request
for
attentive

and
intent
to
sell
to
page
company

located
at
an
unnumbered

at
Center

The
proposed

is
$100
Winnie.
If
you'd
present
your
vote

I'm.
E
Here,
requesting
PFC
approval
for
the
tentative
developer,
designation
of
page
company
Inc
for
the
parcel
identified
in
the
BOE
package
as
an
unnumbered
parcel
on
Center
Street
in
the
Roxbury
neighborhood
of
Boston.
The
vote
package
includes
a
comprehensive
memo
about
the
project
and
PFC
vote
request.
I've
also
provided
handouts
related
to
this
vote
request
which
are
displayed
on
the
screen.
This
site
is
also
located
in
the
Highland
Park
area
of
Roxbury.
The
site
is
a
6033
square
foot
lot.
It
was
take.
E
It's
been
in
the
city's
inventory
for
82
years
now
after
I
was
taken
through
tax
foreclosure.
This
site
was
previously
before
the
Commission
at
the
December
2018
Pfc
meeting,
where
the
parcel
was
officially
recognized
as
a
part
of
D
and
E's
inventory
and
since
then
T
in
Dias
moves
quickly
to
request
a
tentative
developer
designation
for
this
site
and
put
it
back
into
productive
use.
E
So
this
site
has
been
underdeveloped
and
underutilized
for
a
number
of
years.
Now
it's
currently
used
as
a
shortcut
by
community
members
and
pedestrians
from
Center
Street
down
below
to
Lynwood
square
at
the
high
point,
and
it's
also
currently
used
for
open
space
and
educational
programming
by
the
abut,
ER
or
page
Academy.
E
So
D
and
E
conducted
a
public
process
that
resulted
in
this
vote.
Request.
D
and
E
worked
with
community
partners
to
release
an
RFP
for
redevelopment.
A
community
notification
was
mailed
to
abutters
in
October
of
2018.
A
request
for
proposals
was
issued
on
November,
5th,
2018
and
advertised
in
the
state
central
register
city
record
and
the
Boston
Herald
proposals
were
due
on
December
10th
2018,
one
development
team,
page
company
inc,
applied
to
the
RFP
and
was
determined
to
have
met
the
eligibility
criteria.
E
They
were
invited
to
present
their
plans
of
developments
at
community
members
on
January,

2019
and
based
on
community
feedback
in
D
and
E
review
of
all
eligible
applications
against
the
RFP
evaluation
criteria.
We
recommend
the
ten
developer
designation
of
page
company
inc,
so
this
image
shows
their
preliminary
site
designs.
Page
company
Inc
operates
an
independent
school
named
Page
Academy,
which
is
the
director

This
school
was
founded
in
Roxbury
in
1972,
and
it
serves
currently
serve
students
from
infancy
through
the
sixth
grade.
E
They
offer
a
holistic
approach
to
child
development
so
again
their
property
directly
abuts
the
site
and
they've
been
stewarding
the
land
for
a
number
of
years.
Now
so
page
company
inc
is
proposing
to
make
substantial
improvements
to
the
property
such
as
creating
a
permanent
community
pathway,
improving
the
compost
system
and
planting
native
bushes
and
trees.
E
In
summary,
if
Pfc
approves
the
Vote
request,
it
will
result
in
the
following
public
benefits:
a
public
pathway,
community
gathering,
space
and
community
programming,
revitalization
of
a
vacant
parcel
of
land
underutilized
for
over
80
years
and
preservation
of
6033
square
feet,
a
public
open

I'm

The

package
includes
a
comprehensive
memo
about
the
project
and
PFC
vote
request.
Since
the
time
of

designation,
this
developers
completed
a
site

They
have
a

In

if
the

is
also
expected
to
create
over
fifty
six
thousand

which
will
generate

among
the
trades.
G
The
sale
of
these
three
parcels
can
also
be
expected,
yield
long-term
financial
benefits
to
the
city.
Moving
these
three
parcels
from
the
city's
inventory,
the
city
will
be
able
to
avoid
future
costs
and
liability
is
associated
with
maintaining
these
properties.
The
city
stands
to
save
an
estimated
