A
A
I
want
to

the

of
the
Roxbury

master
plan
oversight
committee
for
your
work,
in
partnership
with
the
city

visioning
how

to
implement
the
Roxbury

the

is
very
much
partnership,
focused
and
representative
of
the
shared
investment
in
making

thrive.
In
just
a
moment,
you
will
hear
from
mere
Walsh
about
two
projects:
the
non
factory
and
Bartlett
station.
A
Now
represent
a
critical
facet
of
the
city's
economic
and
Neighborhood
Development
strategies
which
will
spur
investment
and
create
jobs
and
affordable
housing.
These
awards
come
on
the
heels
of
significant
city
investments
in
Dudley
square.
This
building
the
Bruce
bowling
Municipal
Building
is
home
to
Boston
public
schools,
as
well
as
small
businesses
that
serve
this
community.
A
A
B
Hey
you
very
much
Sean
and
I
want
to
thank
John
and
his
team
for
the
amazing
work.
They
do
our
office
of
business
development
and
working
in
the
neighborhood
of
the
45
business
storefronts
here
in
this
community
and
in
working
on
so
many
different
other
investments
in
in
the
Dudley
area.
One
thing
comes
with
Janey
for
hosting
us
today.
B
We
work
together
earlier
today,
we'll
be
together
tomorrow,
but
I
want
to
thank
her
as
well,
because
she's
just
about
finishing
up
her
first
term
as
City
Council
here
in
this
neighborhood,
and
if
you
look
around
the
neighborhood
the
amount
of
city
buildings
that
are
being
under
construction,
it's
probably
more
than
any
other
neighborhood
and
I
know.
This
is
on
TV
in
Boston,
so
don't
hold.
Us
is
Kim
Janie's
fault,
since
all
the
City
Council's,
so
I
want
to
thank
I
want
to
thank
you.
B
I
want
to
get
the
governor
I'm
gonna,
introduce
in
a
minute,
but
I
want
that
the
governor,
who
is
no
stranger
at
all
to
this
neighborhood
who's,
been
here
many
many
many
times.
I
want
to
thank
him
for
his
commitment
to
Boston
in
this
particular
community.
I
want
to
thank
the
lieutenant
governor
away.
B
The
honor
of
serving
in
the
House
of
Representatives
with
I
were
together
for
about
14
years
together
in
the
house
and
certainly
know
where
her
commitment
is
as
well
and
thank
you
lieutenant
government
being
with
us
today,
secretary
connealy,
thank
you
for
for
your
support
as
well.
You've
been
amazing,
since
you
assume
this
role
and
working
to
make
sure
that
equity
is
passed
across
all
cities
and
towns
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
and
to
the
teams
from
the
city
in
the
state.
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
that
you
do
for
us,
so
school
apartment
I
know
a
big,
pretty
decent
crowd
from
school
department.
Thank
you
as
well,
former
city
councilor
down
the
back
from
Quincy
Thank,
You
Margaret
for
being
in
us
as
well,
and
to
all
of
you
that
are
here,
this
Roxbury
community,
most
importantly,
Thank
You
Roxbury
community.
For
being
here,
congratulations
on
these
on
these
two
awards.
We
have
developed
a
strong
partnership
of
the
master
works
program.
This
funding
has
helped
us
complete
important
projects
all
across
the
city
from
from
metope
ins.
B
Did
you
make
a
plane
from
East
Boston's,
the
dart
Stern,
and
the
beauty
about
these
grants
is
that
is
that
you
have
to
work
for
them
and
you
have
to
have
real
strong
programs
and
real
strong
projects
and
in
the
money.
The
money
sometimes
is
the
final
touch
in
getting
a
program
complete
and
it
comes
at
the
right
time,
and
this
is
Christmas
season.
So
it's
nice
to
get
a
little
president.
Today,
we're
excited
to
celebrate
these
next
ones.
B
It
starts
all
over
again
to
continue
to
fight
the
Battle
of
income,
inequality
and
creating
opportunities
for
people
and
what's
happening
today.
Is
that
that
another
little
step
in
fighting
income
inequality
replace
the
big
focus
on
affordable
housing
and
preventing
displacement?
The
work
we're
doing
is
guided
by
input
from
residents
and
community.
Last
summer
we
really
sought
guidelines
for
plan.
Doubling
this
planning
process
looked
at
vacant
properties
in
the
neighborhood
and
how
the
we
can
reflect
the
community's
wishes
for
these
spaces.
B
We
heard
from
residents
we
heard
from
business
owners
and
we
heard
from
neighborhood
organizations
who
helped
us
mold
this
vision.
The
restoration
of
the
non-factory
is
a
great
example
of
this.
Community's
advocacy
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment.
I
don't
see
him
here,
but
I
want
to
thank
stay
represented
by
and
rushing
and
others
who
helped
preserve.
This
important
piece
of
Roxbury
sister,
II,
Mouse
works
funding
will
help
support
the
site,
preparation
and
get
her
ready
for
future
development.
B
We're
looking
forward
to
continuing
this
work
in
this
community
mass
work
is
also
going
to
be
funding.
Supporting
the
remaining
public
infrastructure
work,
a
pilot
station
I,
don't
know
we
were
there
a
few
months
ago.
We
did
a
ribbon-cutting.
It
was
amazing
to
see
it.
It's
great
to
see.
Bala
station
come
on,
we
celebrated
the
first
phase.
Seventy
six
units
in
13
13,000
square
feet
of
retail
space.
The
full
project
had
linkage
money
from
out
from
the
development
going
on
in
city
of
Boston,
a
million
from
Lincoln's
and
a
million
canary
development.
B
Once
again,
when
this
project
is
complete,
it's
gonna
create
360,
affordable
homes
for
working
families
and
thousands
of
feets
for
commercial
space.
When
you
think
about
preserving
something
in
the
heart
of
a
community,
there's,
probably
not
many
other
projects
like
this
in
the
city.
We
don't
many
space
like
this
in
the
city
to
be
able
to
do
something
special
like
this.
This
project
has
been
one
working
for
more
than
a
decade
in
the
planning.
B
There's
been
a
lot
of
advocacy
and
a
lot
of
hard
work
by
the
roxbury
community
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
it.
When
it
comes
to
lifting
up
our
neighborhoods,
we
need
to
work
together
across
all
sectors
of
government
and
that's
what
partnership
represents
and
there's
no
question
about
it.
Massachusetts
is
setting
a
strong
example
for
collaboration,
and
it's
something
that
we
should
be
proud
of,
and
oftentimes
people
in
today's
world
like
to
see
a
lot
of
I,
guess,
discontent
and
fighting
and
disagreeing
and
arguing.
B
We
can
argue
and
we
can
fight.
We
can
do
all
that
stuff,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
need
to
collectively
work
together
and
that's
what
these
two
projects
were
beneficial
as
beneficiaries
of
community
of
networking
of
elected
officials,
all
of
us
working
together.
So
it's
my
honor
to
bring
out
to
the
podium,
the
governor,
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts,
Charlie,
Baker,.
C
Let
me
just
start
first
of
all
by
getting
through
the
official
part
of
this,
and
then
we
don't
mail
anybody
a
check
anymore.
We
don't
have
anybody
to
check,
but
we
do
give
you
letters
of
confirmation
which
I'm
sure
Brian
golden
will
want,
because
they're
good
when
the
money
shows
up
these
are
the
two
matters.
B
C
Let
me
just
start
first
of
all
by
by
saying
that
this
is
this
is
sort
of
the
second
bite
at
the
Bartlett
yds
Apple.
Okay,
the
mass
works
program
was
also
part
of
phase.
One
I
think
they
put
about
a
two
point:
eight
million
dollar
grant
and
alongside
other
money
that
came
from
DHCD
in
a
bunch
of
other
places
to
make
that
that
phase.
C
One
piece,
work
and
I
think
part
of
the
reason
we're
back
here
talking
about
another,
almost
three
million
dollar
grant
for
Phase,
two,
which
this
board
does
a
much
better
job
of
explaining
than
I.
Could
it's
because
of
the
success
of
that
first
phase,
and
that
we
do
want
to
work
with
the
mayor
and
with
chief
barrows
and
the
folks
on
their
team,
Sheila,
Dillon
and
obviously
we're
here
and
in
the
councillors
district?
C
And
I
can't
tell
you
how
many
of
these
have
been
out
with
Sheila
Dillon
over
the
course
of
the
past
36
to
48
months,
some
of
those
with
crystal
core
Nigerians,
some
of
them
with
Jenelle
Chen,
but
the
bottom
line
is
we
do
believe
that
we
need
to
be
there
to
help
you
folks,
whether
it's
through
the
tax
credit
programs
or
the
bond
money
or
the
mass
works
program.
We
have
I
say
all
the
time
that
the
most
interesting
thing
about
the
role
the
state
can
play
here
and
most
of
these
projects
is.
C
Phase
two-
and
this
piece
here
on
the
non
factory,
is
what
I
would
describe
as
pre
work
in
many
ways,
its
its
site,
prep
and
and
some
other
work.
That
needs
to
be
done
to
get
people
to
the
point
where
the
community
can
start
having
a
conversation
with
the
city
about
what
might
be
possible
to
do
with
that
Factory.
But
in
many
ways,
from
our
point
of
view,
we
have
always
seen
these
programs
as
enabling
opportunities
and
the
lieutenant-governor
secretary
community.
C
We
all
get
the
fact
that
in
the
end,
what
we
want
to
do
is
make
it
possible
for
communities
to
close
the
deal
on
projects
that
they
think
will
move
their
neighborhoods
forward
and
in
this
particular
case
we
already
have
history
on
this.
One,
we're
talking
about
a
second
piece
of
a
part
of
a
project
that
started
on
what
was
an
old
MBTA
yard
and
I
think
in
many
ways
it's
a
great
example
of
not
only
a
public-private
partnership
but
the
reuse
of
a
public
asset
that
actually
sat
vacant.
C
As
the
mayor
said,
I
think
the
probably
must
been
close
to
10
years
right
was
it
more
than
that.
Okay,
did
you
wanna?
Oh
my
god,
okay
well,
see
I
went
around
then
so
I
only
really
only
go
back
as
far
as
a
decade,
but
the
bottom
line
is
there
are
really
good
things
happen
on
this
property.
Now
we're
very
excited
about
the
possibilities
and
the
opportunity
and
I
think
it's
perfectly
appropriate
for
the
council.
I
take
full
credit
for
it.
If
she
wants.
C
D
Good
afternoon,
it's
an
opportunity
for
all
of
us
to
come
together
to
congratulate,
and
also
thank
you
for
your
decisions,
whether
dating
back
now,
ten
years
in
the
making
I
want
to
just
acknowledge
undersecretary
Chan
for
being
here.
This
is
you're
playing
a
big
role
in
this,
as
the
housing
is
a
big
part
of
this
project
as
well.
D
So
a
few
things
I'd
like
to
say,
first
of
all,
leadership
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor,
the
Councilwoman
and
you
as
neighborhood
activists
that
cared
deeply
about
a
place
that
you
have
connections
and
ties
to
from
the
City
Hall
to
this
neighborhood
having
the
leadership
coming
together
in
collaboration.
You've
heard
that
word
a
few
times
now
thinking
or
rethinking
the
use,
the
challenges
and
the
opportunities
for
this
neighborhood
and
then
taking
your
collection
of
thoughts
and
developing
a
common
vision
for
this
neighborhood
and
that
clearly
took
a
number
of
meetings.
D
And
then
the
third
piece
of
it
is
to
take
all
of
that
good
thinking
and
your
leadership
behind
it
and
put
it
into
a
plan,
something
that
is
tangible
and
sensible
so
that
you
could
actually
take
it
and
make
it
a
reality.
Someday,
and
today
is
the
day
that
it's
it
looks.
It
looks
real
that
the
plan
is
more
than
a
piece
of
paper,
it's
actually
a
reality
and
that
it
can
be
constructed
and
become
developed
in
the
very
manner
in
which
your
leadership
team
and
your
vision
hoped
for.
D
And
when
you
think
about
that
plan,
we
don't
think
about
plans
sitting
on
a
shelf.
We
think
about
them
as
the
ability
to
really
get
something
done,
and
what
I
love
about
this
particular
project
and
your
choices
is
that
it
is
mixed-use.
So
within
your
neighborhood,
you
are
not
only
addressing
housing
and
residential
needs,
but
you're
also
seeing
opportunities
for
small
business
development
of
some
entrepreneurship,
some
business
ownership
and
development,
and
really
Tapani
tapping
into
the
diversity
and
culture
and
creativity
that
this
neighborhood
clearly
represents.
And
then,
of
course,
it's
not
only
mixed-use.
D
D
It's
our
opportunity
to
be
able
to
partner
with
you
with
the
the
dollars
as
the
governor
referenced,
sometimes
the
the
final
dollars
that
make
the
deal
but
they're
the
real
dollars
that
make
a
difference
in
terms
of
site,
development
and
underground
piping
and
sidewalks
and
traffic
signals
and
signage,
and
all
of
that
infrastructure.
Stuff.
That's
essential
for
any
development
and
clearly
you
are
able
to
attract
the
private
investment
coupled
with
the
city
and
the
state's
participation
to
put
together
the
bucket
of
funds
in
the
resource.
To
make
this
happen.
D
So
I
want
to
congratulate
all
of
the
leaders
here
in
this
room,
for
your
vision,
your
planning
and
for
allowing
us
the
opportunity
to
invest
in
something
pretty
special
and
that
will
have
an
impact
not
only
for
the
neighborhood
but
for
the
people
who
will
come
to
work
here.
Who
will
live
here
and
create
the
next
opportunity
of
family
development
for
another
generation
of
people
to
call
Dudley
square
home?
So
congratulations.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
You
lieutenant
governor
great
to
be
with
you
all
here
today,
great
as
always
to
be
of
Mayor
Walsh
and
chief
barrows
and
Sheila
Dillon
and
folks
from
the
city
of
Boston
as
well
as
Janelle,
my
my
colleague
and
housing.
You
know
this
master
works
program
is
a
really
wonderful
tool
in
our
toolbox.
In
the
last
five
years
we
have
awarded
about
four
hundred
and
fifty
million
dollars
of
mass
works,
grants
to
two
hundred
twenty
projects
in
one
hundred
and
forty
communities
and,
as
the
mayor
alluded
to
it's
a
competitive
process.
E
So
this
year
we're
making
thirty
six
Awards.
We
had
applications
for
ninety
two,
and
so
it
is
competitive
to
get
these
and
we
have
a
whole
process.
People
look
at
all
these
applications
and
score
them
on
a
lot
of
different
dimensions,
but
I'd
say
in
terms
of
how
we
make
decisions.
There's
really
two
things
that
drive
our
thinking.
One
is:
will
the
project
have
a
have
an
impact?
E
We
want
to
see
situations
where
the
investment
of
the
public
dollars
in
public
infrastructure
will
have
a
big
impact
on
a
community,
and
the
second
is
we
like
to
fund
things
that
are
part
of
a
larger
plan
or
a
community
can
articulate
a
strategy
and
say
this
project
is
important
for
us,
and
you
know
when
people
ask
what
is
mass
works
fun?
Well,
we
fund
streets
and
lights
and
sewers
and
roadways.
E
The
way
few
other
communities
have
and
they've
done,
a
wonderful
job,
developing
housing.
Frankly,
we
need
more
communities
to
develop
a
lot
more
housing
and
we
we
have
some
legislation
before
the
legislature
legislature.
That
would
help
us
do
that
called
the
governor's
housing
choice
bill,
but
but
the
way
Boston
has
prioritized
housing.
Development
is
really
really
important.
I
did
mention
the
housing
choice,
legislation
briefly,
and
thank
you
to
the
mayor
and
Sheila
for
their
their
continuing
advocacy
on
that
one
hope
you
get
that
one
done.
E
Finally,
I'd
make
note
of
the
fact
that
last
Friday,
the
governor,
signed
the
economic
development
plan
for
the
second
term
of
the
Baker
plea
to
administration.
The
plant
is
called
partnerships
for
growth
and
I
have
to
say
we
all
love
that
title,
because
it
just
really
speaks
to
how
we
all
work
together
now
to
get
important
things
done.
E
But
if
you
take
a
look
at
the
plan,
it's
got
sort
of
four
key
things
or
trying
to
get
done
four
pillars,
and
it's
got
five
principles
that
will
help
motivate
and
then
drive
how
the
work
gets
done
and
two
of
the
four
pillars
are
creating
even
more
vibrant
communities
and
responding
to
the
housing
crisis.
And
it's
great
to
see
a
project
here
today
that
there
really
will
help
advance
the
work
in
two
of
those
pillars.
E
I
won't
go
through
all
the
principles,
but
I'll
touch
on
one,
which
is
equitable
opportunity,
ensuring
that
all
people
in
all
communities
will
share
in
the
growth
and
prosperity
you've
had
these
last
number
of
years
and
begin
sure
everyone's
got
a
chance
for
success
so
great
to
be
with
you
all.
Today.
Congratulations
to
the
city
and
the
community.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
You
Mia
walsh,
government
baker,
lieutenant
governor
Pulido
and
secretary
connealy,
as
the
government
talked
about
it.
The
first
phase
of
Bartlett
was
actually
seated
to
mass
works
or
stitched,
as
you
said,
through
mass
works,
and
so
the
non-factory,
in
fact,
is
that
same
opportunity,
because
right
next
to
the
non
factory
is
parcel.
A
Eight
parcel
eight
is
a
DC,
are
owned,
parcel
very
important
parcel
here
at
Dudley,
and
so
I
might
also
put
in
to
ask
now
the
governor
recognizes
the
fact
that
the
state
the
state
helps
to
seed
and
then
stitch
it
at
the
end,
we'll
be
coming
back
governor.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
ongoing
partnership.
A
F
Good
evening,
everyone
again
I'm
trying
to
Tyler
stay
prep
for
supper
supper
district,
which
includes
this
district
Dudley,
our
Roxbury
Dorchester
Fenway
into
South
End
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
coming
out
this
evening
and
I
just
wanted
to
give
some
quick
remarks.
Oftentimes,
you
know
I
witness
very,
very
hostile
and
difficult
relationships
between
developers
and
our
communities
and
due
to
the
cost
of
development,
often
time
our
community
needs
our
sacrifice
so
I'm
very,
very
proud.
For
that
reason
to
be
able
to
be
here,
because
that
means
that
we
can
deliver
more
community
needs.
F
A
Thank
You
representative
I'd
like
to
thank
everyone
for
being
here
today.
Clearly
the
leaders
who
were
sitting
here
behind
me
folks
in
this
room,
the
community
at
large
those
who
have
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
community
meetings,
but
weren't
able
to
be
here
with
us
today
for
such
a
strong
commitment
to
the
infrastructure,
improvements,
the
creation
of
affordable
housing
and
enhance
local
vitality,
so
Dudley
and
the
Roxbury
community.
This
3.7
million
dollar
grant
is
what
the
Dudley
community
needs
and,
most
importantly
deserves.
It
will
help
build
our
neighborhoods,
exciting
momentum.
