From YouTube: One Congress Groundbreaking
Description
Join Mayor Marty Walsh at the groundbreaking of One Congress, the future headquarters of State Street and the latest building underway as a part of the Bullfinch Crossing redevelopment of the Government Center Garage. The 1 million square foot tower will rise over 500 feet, making it the tallest office tower in the city since 1984.
A
A
A
This
is
Boston's
newest
office
tower
and
one
that
will
transform
the
city
skyline,
as
we
all
know
it-
I'm,
Paul,
Burton,
I'm,
so
proud
and
honored
and
thrilled
to
be
your
emcee
through
this
morning.
As
we
celebrate
the
groundbreaking
of
this
incredible
project
and
hear
from
some
of
the
stakeholders
who
made
this
project
all
possible,
we
are
standing
right
now
at
the
footprint
will
become
the
tallest
office
building
constructed
in
Boston
and
over
15
years.
A
A
Now
now,
this
new
tower
is
a
major
piece
of
one
larger
Bulfinch
Crossing
development,
which
is
transforming
the
existing
government
center
garages,
we're
all
familiar
with
into
one
of
the
most
vibrant
developments
in
downtown
Boston.
Eventually,
Bothans
Crossing
will
feature
2.9
million
square
feet
of
first-class
presidential
office,
hotel
and
retail
offerings
featuring
more
than
800
residential
units,
200
hotel
rooms,
1.15
million
square
feet
of
office
spaces
and
80
2,500
square
feet
of
new
retail
space.
Now
we
wouldn't
be
here
today
without
this
significant
contributions
of
some
key
players.
A
Alongside
the
leadership
of
State
Street
in
the
building
trades,
but
first
it's
my
pleasure
to
welcome
the
the
ringleader
behind
all
this
and
welcome
the
leader.
Who's
been
developing
the
growth
of
across
the
city
of
Boston
throughout
five
plus
years
of
his
time
in
office,
Boston
is
rapidly
growing
and
changing.
No
one
has
seen
it
more
up.
Close
and
personal
than
our
mayor.
Boston's
growth
has
been
the
driving
force
driven.
Sorry
Boston
has
been
the
fact
that
it's
been
an
attractive
place
to
live,
work
and
play
people
want
to
be
in
Boston.
A
This
is
a
city
of
Champions
and
people
love
to
be
here.
The
mayor
is
an
extraordinary
leader.
He
makes
things
happen,
he's
all
over
the
city
he
visits
everywhere.
He
wants
to
see
Boston
change,
he
wants
to
see
it
grow.
He
is
a
driving
force
behind
so
many
changes
here
in
his
past
five
years.
He
is
a
leader
with
great
passion
and
compassion
and
I'm
truly
proud
to
call
him
our
mayor.
This
welcome
Boston
mayor
Marty,
Walsh.
B
Thank
you,
Paul
and
I
want
to
thank
I,
know:
I
promised
untuck
all
Paul
in
a
few
minutes,
but
I
want
to
thank
Paul
on
this
family
they're
amazing,
remarkable
people
what
they
do
for
our
young
people
in
the
city
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts,
and
thank
you
for
everything
you
do,
including
bringing
us
the
news.
Thank
you
for
that.
B
It's
exciting
to
be
here
today
and
I'm
gonna
talk
about
that
in
a
minute.
I
want
to
just
give
a
shout
out
to
a
few
people
that
are
here,
because,
when
you
think
about
whether
this
project
or
things
that
are
happening
in
the
city
or
the
state,
it's
important
that
we
do
it
together
and
we
have
some
amazing
elected
officials
here,
we'll
start
with
the
city,
then
go
to
the
state.
B
B
B
All
I
was
actually
talking
to
Mike
fortune
down
the
back
of
the
room
and
the
first
time
that
I
kind
of
got
involved
in
this
project
was
2011,
I
had
just
taken
over
the
building
trades
and
we
started
having
conversations
and
I'm
talking
to
Tom
and
and
Mark
and
everybody,
and
it
was
just
amazing
that,
when
you
think
about
the
conversations
of
buildings
like
this,
how
long
it
takes
actually
it
going
because
of
what
the
team
that
needs
to
come
together
and
when
you
think
about
the
team,
that's
on
the
stage.
B
B
Was
gonna
say
all
kinds
of
nice
things
about
Tom
O'brien
and
the
great
work
he
does,
but
I'm
really
gonna
just
give
a
shout
out
to
John
Hurley
who
see
it
with
his
baby.
Where
is
he?
Where
are
you
John,
John's
right
yeah,
his
daddy
I
used
to
used
to
run
the
ironworkers?
It
probably
still
does
he's
Italian
and
I.
B
B
B
This
is
an
exciting
project.
It's
it's!
Obviously,
this
groundbreaking
I'm
excited
about
it.
A
lot
of
us
are
excited
about
it.
One
Congress
is
gonna,
be
the
tallest
office
building
constructed
in
our
city
since
1984.
Think
about
that
for
a
minute,
we've
done
a
lot
of
housing.
We've
done
a
lot
of
12
buildings,
it's
the
tallest
since
1984,
and
you
know,
certainly
excited
about
that
about
that.
B
I
think
in
1984,
right
around
there
I'm
I'm
on
hand
myself
for
working
on
75
State
Street
when
they
were
building
that
building,
and
it
was
just
that
it
was
just
that
it's
amazing
to
see
this
happened
in
the
city
of
Boston
1
million
square
feet
of
office
space.
It's
gonna
be
an
anchor
to
the
Bulfinch
crossing,
it's
gonna
be
new
home,
just
State
Street,
and
when
you
think
about
the
difference
and
everyone
in
the
room
knows
obviously
the
difference
between
residential
in
office,
but
creating
jobs
is
so
important.
B
In
the
city,
we've
built
a
lot
of
tall
buildings
in
the
last
several
years
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Those
buildings
have
been
mostly
residential,
but
this
carpet.
This
opportunity
allows
people
to
have
employment,
earn
a
paycheck
both
as
it's
being
built
as
construction
folks
on
the
job,
but
then,
when
it's
done,
having
having
jobs
inside
the
building
really
is
an
important
aspect
for
the
city
of
Boston
as
we
grow.
This
is
one
of
the
most
dynamic
areas
of
the
city
of
Boston.
B
You
know
people
like
Tom
O'brien,
and
you
have
elected
officials
a
lot
of
the
technology
innovation
that's
coming
here
now
got.
The
groundwork
was
laid
at
the
State
House
many
years
ago,
with
different
pieces
of
legislation
that
we
did
to
really
bring
innovation
back
to
Massachusetts
and
back
to
Boston,
and
in
this
this
is
all
paying
off.
This
is
legislation
was
passed
in
99
legislation
was
passed
in.
Oh
one
legislation
was
passed
in
2010
all
of
those
different
pieces
of
attracting
new
businesses.
That's
why
that's
what
this
is
all
about
and
that's
exciting
to
see.
B
People
want
to
be
part
of
our
success
here
in
Boston.
They
want
to
take
advantage
of
the
pipeline,
the
talent,
the
talent
that
we
have
and
not
college
universities
and
in
our
neighborhoods
right
here,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
talent.
We're
excited
that
one
Congress
will
bring
so
much
new
state-of-the-art
office
space
to
the
area.
One
slide
once
the
lodge
of
bull
French
crossing
projects
complete
there'll,
be
even
more
benefits
to
the
city
of
Boston
when
you
in
the
residence
of
the
city
of
Boston,
more
income
restricted
housing.
B
We
lead
the
country
in
that
one
in
five
units
of
housing
is
income
restricted
for
folks
in
the
city,
so
we
are
making
sure
that
we
want
to
pull
everyone
up
together.
Thousands
of
construction,
jobs
and
permanent
jobs,
thousands
of
structures,
job
stand
in
construction,
jobs
for
people
that
don't
understand
our
permanent
jobs
with
construction
workers
and
having
those
jobs
are
really
important.
To
keep.
B
Keep
people
to
be
able
to
work
and
put
food
on
their
table
want
12
million
dollars
in
Lincoln
Tron's
to
affordable
housing
and
workforce
development
programs,
allowing
us
to
continue
the
momentum
we
have
in
building
affordable,
low
income
housing
for
people.
This
is
this
is
transforming
the
area's.
As
we
know,
it's
going
to
offer
more
opportunities
for
people
to
live,
work
and
play
here.
It
brings
a
whole
new
area
of
vibrancy
to
this
area.
B
It
joins
other
big
areas
in
the
product
in
the
in
other
big
projects
in
the
area
Cobb
on
cars,
way
garden,
garage,
dark,
Square
in
City,
Hall,
plaza.
Quite
honestly,
when
we
renovate
City,
Hall,
plaza
and
open
up
City
Hall
plaza
to
make
it
more
of
a
destination
location
for
people
to
come
and
enjoy
they're
building
their
public
building
and
doing
that
is
so
important.
So,
when
you
think
about
this
whole
area,
it's
connecting
the
West
End
as
well.
The
West
End
for
many
years
felt
that
they
were
forgotten
and
what
we've
done
is
there.
B
We
haven't
done
a
dibs
on
it.
They
built
a
neighborhood
in
the
West
End
and
this
strong
neighborhood
and
when
I
first
got
elected
me
as
one
of
the
things
that
I
was
explained
many
many
times
by
IJ
and
by
Josh
by
other
elected
officials,
but
also
by
the
community
that
we
are
in
neighborhood
and
they
certainly
our
neighborhood
and
we're
connecting
the
West
End
we're
connecting
into
the
North
End
we're
connecting
the
west
and
north
end
now
to
downtown
and
to
other
areas
in
the
city
of
Boston.
B
So
we're
excited,
as
our
city
grows,
that
we're
always
thinking
about.
How
do
we
bring
communities
together?
This
development
represents
that
vision
of
possibilities
for
the
impact
that
this
will
have
on
our
city
so
again
to
everyone
behind
me.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
investment
I
want
to
thank
you
for
what
you
put
you've
brought
to
this
project
to
the
people
in
this
tent
of
this
tent.
That
actually
did
all
of
the
work
to
make
all
of
this
thing.
A
C
If
you've
never
built
a
project
like
this,
you
really
don't
understand
that
there
are
hundreds
and
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
people
involved
impossible
to
thank
everybody,
but
it's
truly
literally
true.
Hundreds
of
people
are
behind
this
building.
I
do
want
to
thank
the
mayor.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
support,
I
want
to
think
straight
Street.
Thank
you
for
your
faith
in
us.
C
We
told
you
we
would
build
this
building
for
you
on
time
and
we
will
and
it'll
be
a
wonderful
landmark
for
Boston
and
for
your
company.
I
want
to
thank,
very
importantly,
the
ibw
and
Nika.
We
manage
money
for
60-some
institutional
investment
plans,
much
of
it
from
the
IBEW
ivw
members
across
the
country
and
Nika
contractors,
without
their
money.
None
of
this
would
have
happened
without
their
faith.
In
us,
none
of
it
would
have
happened,
Mike
Lou.
Thank
you.
C
And
I
we
stood
on
this
site
and
we
had
it
pitched
to
us
by
someone
who's
long
gone,
but
a
lot
of
people
involved
in
this
project
who
were
long
gone
kevin
and
I
have
not
ever
gone,
but
we
looked
at
the
building.
We
looked
at
the
site,
we
looked
at
the
transportation
network,
we
love
boston,
we
love
its
bones.
C
We
love
its
intellectual
capital
and
we
love
the
fact
that
this
building
was
so
ugly
because
we
thought
because
it
was
really
really
ugly
that
the
community
was
going
to
greet
us
as
a
savior
and
they
would
give
us
whatever
we
wanted,
and
we
would
get
our
approvals
in
two
years
and
be
built
at
all
in
five,
so
we
should
have
been
done
in
2011
I
think.
Well,
we
missed
a
couple
of
things.
Our
analysis
was
quick
and
pretty
accurate,
broadly
accurate.
Well,
we
missed.
We
missed
the
Great
Recession.
C
That
was
one
thing
that
rolled
over
us
like
a
freight
train,
but
we
hung
on.
We
missed
the
fact
that
we
weren't
quite
as
charming
as
we
thought
so.
Instead
of
a
hundred
public
meetings,
we
had
like
600
I,
think
I,
don't
know
before
we
could
convince
people
that
we
ought
to
build
this
complex
in
this
site,
but
we
never
gave
up
and
we're
today
here
for
the
one
Congress
the
office
building,
which
is
incredibly
important.
Part
of
this
whole
complex,
but
it's
only
part
of
this
complex.
C
So
I
would
like
to
say
this
at
the
risk
of
being
too
political
in
many
respects
the
commencement
of
this
building
its
functionality,
its
environmentally
sensitive
nature.
It
really
represents
the
antithesis
of
the
image
that
emanates
from
the
White
House
about
what
developers
and
development
is
like.
C
This
projects
been
successful
because
everybody
involved
has
worked
together,
cooperatively,
responsibly,
honestly
with
integrity,
sometimes
very
selflessly,
and
we
all
did
it
because
we
thought
we
were
building
something
bigger
than
ourselves,
something
that
was
going
to
benefit
the
community
benefit
workers
benefit
everybody
involved
and
even
down
to
the
people
who
are
only
going
to
drive
by
one
day
and
see
this
beautiful
building,
they're
going
to
feel
good.
We're
going
to
feel
good
about
their
city,
they're,
going
to
feel
good
about
their
country.
C
C
C
Then.
Finally,
I
want
to
thank
Oliver
and
his
team.
So
I
was
with
Oliver
in
Washington,
not
that
long
ago
and
mentioned
he
mentioned
that
they
were
thinking
about
moving
out
of
Washington
trying
to
get
another
city
and
you'd
identified.
Boston
and
I
said
well
Oliver.
We
have
a
project
for
you
and
do
we
have
a
project
for
you,
I
mean
if
you
want
to
get
started
in
a
new
city
building
office
buildings.
You
can't
do
better
than
this
so
Oliver
and
we
have
had
a
terrific
relationship.
C
Initially,
we
were
bringing
Oliver
Carr
properties
in
because
we
wanted
to
diversify
our
risk
free
up
some
of
our
capital,
so
we
could
get
to
the
rest
of
the
garage,
but
we
found
out
pretty
quickly
that
they
are
superb
developers.
They
don't
leave
a
single
stone
unturned.
They
assess
everything
they
put
everything
under
a
microscope.
We're
gonna
have
a
much
better
building.
You're
gonna
have
a
much
better
office
because
Oliver
and
his
team
have
been
involved
so
Thank
You,
Oliver.
D
Good
morning,
I
think
apparently,
I'm
gonna,
Oh,
Jeff
holiday
presents
for
the
rest
of
my
life,
so
I'm,
okay
with
that.
So
this
is
a
an
amazing
opportunity
for
our
company
and
I.
Think
for
the
City
of
Austin
I
know
tom
is
going
to
go
through
a
list
of
many
folks
involved
in
the
project,
so
I'm
just
gonna
name
a
few,
but
first
I
also
want
to
thank
the
mayor
in
the
support
of
the
Boston
community
for
bringing
this
incredible
project
to
life.
I
mean
this
building's
like
this
change
cities
and
make
them
better.
D
D
We've
got
a
good
one
for
you
and
I
think
he
was
kind
of
under
selling
the
opportunity,
but
I
have
to
say
that
working
with
Jeff
and
his
team
at
NRA
has
been
a
true
partnership
experience
and
that
it's
pretty
rare
when
we
as
a
new
team
kind
of
parachute
onto
the
scene
just
about
two
years
ago,
there's
a
team.
That's
been
working
on
the
project,
as
you
heard,
you
know
more
than
ten
ten
years,
they've
embraced
us,
we've
worked
great
together
and
I.
D
D
And
I'm
pretty
proud
of
our
team
at
car
as
well,
so
let
by
Austin
Holderness
Jim
Burke
on
Jason
Bock
neck.
These
guys
have
learned
all
the
ins
and
outs
of
the
American
Airlines
schedule
from
DC
burn
at
burning
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
airtime,
but
they've
done
a
tremendous
job,
bringing
the
bringing
the
bringing
the
project
to
this
point.
So
thank
thanks
team
for
everything.
You've
done.
D
D
D
D
You've
got
amazing
research,
universities,
you've
got
a
deep
technology
base,
you've
got
growing
life
sciences,
you've
got
in
migration
and
population
growth,
pretty
good
sports
teams,
it's
hard
to
say
as
a
DC
person,
but
I
know
anyhow,
Boston
has
everything
going
for
it,
so
that
that's?
Why
we're
here
and
we
hope
to
grow
in
this
market?
The
second
part
of
the
story
is
we
really
see
office
changing
and
becoming
much
more
experiential,
so
I
think
office
of
the
future
is
going
to
offer
all
of
the
attributes
that
one
Congress
offers.
D
So
that
includes
amazing
design,
incredible
interior
spaces,
great
community
space-
amazing
views,
perfect,
you
know,
access
to
public
transit,
so
I
think
one
congress
has
everything
and
we're
we're
really
excited
about
the
opportunity,
and
we
think
this
building
is
actually
going
to
be
an
amazing
recruiting
tool
for
our
customers.
It's
all
about
today,
attracting
and
retaining
talent,
and
this
building
is
the
best
possible
tool
out
there
for
our
corporate
customers.
So
we're
thrilled
to
be
part
of
the
project
and
want
to
thank
you
very
much.
E
Thank
you
everybody.
You
know
a
lot
goes
into
thinking
about
about
why
you
want
to
where
you
want
to
locate
your
business
and
why
you
want
to
locate
it
here
and
there's
just
a
whole
lot
of
people
that
I
need
to
thank
for
helping
us
make
that
decision,
mayor,
Walsh,
Oliver,
car,
Jeff,
County,
Tom,
O'brien,
Lou,
antonella's,
and
to
everyone
else
here.
That's
helped
to
make
our
vision
a
reality.
Thank
you
all.
By
the
way
for
coming
today,.
E
We're
an
unusual
institution
we're
227
years
old,
and
for
that
entire
time
we've
called
Boston
our
home
and
we
couldn't
be
more
proud
to
be
making
this
investment
in
this
community
yet
again
rooted
in
Boston.
Today,
we're
very
different
than
we
were
227
years
ago.
We
actually
have
locations
in
28
countries.
We
have
clients
in
over
90
countries
and
we
work
around
the
world,
but
always
headquartered
here
and
always
reminding
ourselves
that
this
is
our
home,
and
this
is
our
roots.
E
What
really
has
driven
our
success
has
been
our
ability
to
look
ahead
and
that's
a
lot
of
what
this
project
is
about
is
looking
ahead,
not
going
to
come
to
them.
It's
also
been
about
drawing
on
talent,
and
this
is
a
talent,
rich
community
and
one
in
which
that
we
need
to
continue
to
figure
out
how
to
draw
from
that
talent.
But
it's
also
one
in
which
is
rooted
in
what
we
are,
which
is
we're
an
investment
company.
E
We
either
invest
on
behalf
of
people
or
we
service,
those
that
invest
and
I
always
say
that
as
an
investment
company,
it's
yeah
there's
a
lot
of
money
involved
in
there's
money
moving
back
and
forth,
but
you
really
represent
the
hopes
and
dreams
of
a
lot
of
people.
There
hope
to
retire
with
dignity.
There
hope
to
send
their
kids
to
college.
There
hope
to
buy
a
new
home
and
that's
what
we
do
and
that's
why
it's
very
important
that
we
have
a
space
that
enables
us
to
do
that
very
well.
E
Come
to
that
mayor
Walsh
recognizes
that,
while
Senate
cities
generate
70%
of
the
world's
carbon
emissions,
they're
also
the
place
where
the
problem
is
going
to
be
solved
right.
There,
laboratories
that
help
us
create
in
scale
mitigation
and
adaptation
solutions
and
making
cities
more
resilient
and
more
sustainable
will
in
fact
be
a
major
way
in
which
we
solve
this
problem.
I
had
the
good
fortune.
E
Last
week,
I
spent
two
days
in
Rome
at
a
conference
actually
convened
by
the
Vatican
on
carbon,
and
what
are
we
gonna
do
as
a
world
not
as
a
not
as
a
country,
not
as
a
city,
not
as
a
particular
company,
but
what
are
we
gonna
do
as
a
world
to
solve
this
problem.
I
was
with
the
CEOs
of
the
largest
oil
and
gas
companies
around
the
world
and
the
CEOs
of
the
largest
investors.
So
we
invest
in
them.
We
provide
the
money
they
do
the
work.
E
The
objective
was
to
gain
commitment
on
solving
this
problem.
At
the
corporate
level,
I
must
say:
I
was
impressed
by
the
commitment
of
the
oil
and
gas
companies.
They
recognized
that
this
is
a
problem
that
they
need
to
solve.
I
was
even
more
impressed
by
the
commitment
of
the
Pope
and
using
the
Vatican's
convening
power
to
actually
bring
people
together.
He
joined
us
for
two
hours
and
he
emphasized
that
the
earth
is
a
shared
neighborhood.
E
But
this
is
a
fact.
50
percent
of
the
carbon
that
was
collected
in
the
atmosphere
remember
it
doesn't
go
anywhere
right
unless
it's
absorbed
by
something
that
stays
there.
Fifty
percent
was
generated
in
the
last
thirty
years,
so
that
means
that
we
I
and
my
generation
have
created
this
problem
and
we
gotta
fix
it
and
we
can't
voice
it
off
on
our
children
or
our
grandchildren.
So.
E
So,
for
us,
a
landmark
project
like
one
Congress,
is
a
meaningful
step
toward
solving
this
problem,
and
that's
how
you
solve
it
right.
You
solve
it
a
project
at
a
time,
a
building
at
a
time.
It's
what
individuals
do
and
what
companies
can
do
and
that's
why
we
are
so
proud
to
call
one
Congress
a
shining
example
of
the
next
generation
of
sustainable
architecture
in
Boston,
built
to
Gold
LEED
standards
for
the
most
efficient
use
of
energy
and
building
materials.
That
will
be
the
next
headquarters
of
State
Street.
E
It
represents
workplace
design,
innovation
that
we
believe
will
promote
creativity
and
innovation,
which
we
need
from
our
employees
and
our
clients
need
from
our
employees,
and
it
will
be
a
breakthrough
both
for
State
Street
and
for
Boston
alike,
flooded
by
natural
light.
Rising
high
above
the
waterfront
won
Congress
in
the
State
Street
headquarters
are
gonna,
look
out
on
that
same
horizon,
that
generations
of
Bostonians
have
and
they've
looked
out
on
that
horizon
to
dream
big
and
work
globally
for
their
families,
their
businesses
and
for
this
great
city.
E
A
F
Thank
you
so
much
Paul
good
morning,
everybody!
Thank
you.
This
is
a
huge
day
for
all
of
us.
This
is
I'm
actually
sitting
here
kind
of
jumping
out
of
my
shoes.
This
has
been
an
amazing
process
for
us
to
get
to
this
point,
but
so
we
thank
you
all
for
staying
here.
I
would
say:
I
can
see
the
rain
coming
now.
I'm
told
that
rain
is
good
luck
for
the
process
that
we're
gonna
about
to
go
on
right.
F
It's
a
rain
means
we're
gonna,
be
able
to
deliver
this
building
on
time,
but
I'm
so
glad
that
my
friend
Paul
Burton
has
agreed
to
be
our
master
of
ceremonies
this
morning.
Many
of
you
know
Paul
as
a
newscaster
on
WBZ
TV,
but
I
know
him
as
part
of
a
family
of
Burton's
who
focus
almost
all
of
their
time,
talent
and
treasure
on
improving
the
lives
of
young
people
in
Greater
Boston,
particularly
young
men
of
color
Paul,
along
with
his
brothers
and
his
mother,
are
the
heart
and
soul
of
the
Ron
Burton
training
village.
F
The
village
is
not
simply
a
place.
It's
a
way
of
living
one's
life,
Paul's,
father,
Ron
Burton,
was
the
very
first
draft
pick
of
what
were
then
the
Boston
Patriots
in
1960.
None
of
us
were
born
right
Paul,
but
when
mr.
Burton
Paul's
father
was
a
young
person,
he
was
small
and
impoverished
and
was
isolated
from
other
kids
in
his
middle
school.
F
Then
one
day
a
coach
told
him
that
if
he
wanted
to
grow
and
become
a
good
football
player
that
he
should
run
seven
miles
a
day
every
day,
beginning
at
4:30
in
the
morning
mr.
Burton
began
running
the
very
next
day
and
eventually
he
became
a
Big
Ten
football
player
at
Northwestern,
an
all-american
and
an
NFL
player,
but
those
accomplishments
are
only
a
small
part
of
the
impact
that
mr.
Burton's
life
has
had
on
others.
When
he
got
to
Boston.
F
He
knew
that
he
had
to
help
other
young
people
realize
their
potential,
and
so
he
built
a
program
that
today
is
still
run
by
his
son
Paul,
together
with
mrs.
Burton
and
Paul's
brothers.
For
decades
now
the
Burton's
have
been
helping.
Thousands
of
young
people
change
the
direction
of
their
lives.
Each
of
those
kids
run
seven
miles
a
day,
beginning
at
4:30
in
the
morning,
and
they
grow
to
love
it
right
Paul.
F
But
the
key
part
of
the
rbtv
program
is
to
get
these
kids
to
focus
on
their
entire
being
their
spirituality
and
their
mind,
as
well
as
their
physical
being.
The
impact
this
program
has
had
on
the
lives
of
young
people
is
dramatic.
There
are
four
words
that
form
the
central
theme
of
the
rbtv
program:
love
peace,
patience
and
humility.
I
choose
to
speak
about
Paul
and
the
Burton
family
today
and
embarrass
them
just
a
little
bit,
because
I
want
all
of
us
to
focus
on
those
four
words
today:
love
peace,
patience
and
humility.
F
Three
years
from
now
God
willing,
we
will
gather
again
on
this
very
site
to
open
a
beautiful
building.
It
will
be
600
feet
tall
and
it
will
completely
remake
this
neighborhood
and
redefine
the
Boston
skyline.
But
our
focus
cannot
be
on
the
steel
and
the
concrete
and
the
glass
of
this
building.
Our
focus
must
be
on
the
people.
People
will
build
this
building
and
people
will
occupy
it
and
that's
why
the
words,
love
peace,
patience
and
humility
matter.
F
All
of
us
need
to
remember
these
words
as
we
work
together
as
a
team
to
create
this
beautiful
building.
It's
about
the
people-
and
we
thank
you,
mayor
Walsh
for
being
here
this
morning,
but
being
our
champion
all
the
way.
Through
this
process,
we
thank
John
barrows
and
the
entire
team
within
City
Hall,
who
have
been
huge,
helps
for
us
and
I
have
to
say
mayor
for
you
to
be
here
this
morning.
I
know:
you've
got
a
ton
going
on.
F
You
exist
in
the
ring
every
single
day,
and
we
appreciate
the
fact
that
you're
able
to
be
here
with
us
for
this
period
of
time.
You've
done
an
amazing
job,
trying
to
balance
the
job-creating
projects
that
are
happening
in
places
like
downtown
Boston,
but
you're
also
doing
that
by
making
sure
that
our
neighborhoods
get
the
appropriate
and
extensive
attention
that
they
should
get.
So.
Thank
you,
mayor,
Walsh,.
F
F
We
love
each
other,
we're
friends
with
one
another.
We
are
great
partners
together.
We
it's
just
been
an
amazing
journey
with
you
guys.
I

very
much
for
being

today.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
being
here,
we
love
working
with
all
of
you.
We
ask
you,
please
just
focus
on
safety
every
single
day
as
we
build
this
building.
Thank
you,
men
and
women.
The
building
trades.
F
The
leader
on-site,
of
course,
will
be
John
Moriarty
and
associates,
and
we
love
teaming
up
with
John
and
his
team
John's
here
somewhere.
Where
are
you
John
give
it
quite
there?
He
is
oh
he's
in
the
back
boys,
humility
in
the
back.
The
JMA
project
executive
is
our
friend
Finn
O'sullivan,
where
is
Finn,
can
recognize
Finn.
F
Friend
thinks
about
everything:
Finn
thinks
about
all
of
the
people.
Who
will
build
this
this
building?
He
thinks
about.
How
will
we
feed
the
people
in
this
job?
Where
will
they
park?
How
do
we
take
care
of
all
these
people?
Who
will
build
it?
It
is
with
a
company
like
JMA
and
with
the
thoughtful
leadership
like
John's,
that
give
us
great
confidence
that
the
success
of
this
building
is
going
to
be
clear
and
will
be
something
that
we'll
be
able
to
look
back
on
for
years
to
come.
For
us,
it
always
comes
back
to
people.
F
It
comes
back
to
the
member
of
local
7
who,
on
a
cold
winter
morning,
20
months
from
now,
will
be
setting
a
steel
beam
in
place.
400
feet
up.
It
comes
back
to
the
member
of
local
103
who
will
ensure
that
this
building
will
be
wired
for
the
future,
so
that
state
stream
will
have
the
21st
century
cutting-edge
technology.
It
will
need
to
compete
within
the
global
capital
markets.
People
will
leave
this
building.
People
will
build
this
building.
People
will
use
this
building.
I
hope
that
we
can
all
do
that.
A
Humility,
I
told
you,
you
know,
I
tell
them
I
didn't
know
you're
gonna,
say
all
that.
So
thank
you.
So
much
for
your
kind
words.
You've
been
such
a
dear
friend
of
the
Burton
family,
your
love
and
your
faith
and
your
hard
work
and
your
dedication
to
the
city
and
all
you
do
your
leadership.
It
speaks
volumes.
It
speaks
to
the
amazing
people
that
are
here
in
this
room.
I.
Thank
you
for
your
kind
words.
I
was
not
anticipating
you
saying
all
that,
but
caught
me
off
guard.
So
thank
you,
Tom.
Thank
you.
G
Thank
you
very
much
Ron
and
certainly
very
proud
to
be
up
here
with
the
with
the
team.
That's
gonna
build
one
Congress,
I'm,
very
glad
to
be
next
to
Mayor
Walsh,
certainly
Jeff
Kenny,
Oliver
Ron
and
Tom
O'brien,
his
hard-working
team
at
hym,
and,
of
course,
all
of
you.
This
is
such
an
exciting
project
for
many
of
us,
certainly
who
play
a
lot
of
different
roles
into
getting
to
to
this
point
that
we
are
at
today
for
those
of
us
in
the
in
the
trades
in
the
ibw
in
particular.
G
It's
really
a
full-circle
moment
for
our
memberships,
electricians,
install
conduit
and
we
pull
wire
for
power
for
lighting
for
highly
technical
electrical
systems,
and
we
do
it
on
projects
all
over
the
city
and
certainly
exciting,
and
beautiful.
Buildings
like
this
building
is
going
to
be
right
here
after
work,
though
our
members
are
on
two
other
things:
they're
on
two
soccer
games,
they're
on
two
little
league
in
the
run
to
the
busyness
of
raising
families
at
home.
G
G
A
Thank
you,
Lou.
Thank
you.
So
here
we
go.
We
come
to
this
point
what
a
vision,
what
a
dream?
Jeff
it's
hard
to
imagine
13
years
ago,
you
you
know
what
this
whole
thing
began,
but
wow.
