E
Thank
you
ct
good
morning,
commissioners.
I
am
here
requesting
pfc
approval
of
an
ex
accept
and
expendable
for
a
grant
award
of
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
the
blue
live
action
plan.
This
grant
was
awarded
by
the
boston
foundation
on
behalf
of
the
new
commonwealth,
racial
and
equity
social
justice
fund
dnd
submitted
a
grant
application
to
the
boston
foundation
in
april
of
this
year,
requesting
120
000
to
hire
a
development
consultant
for
the
lab
action
plan.
E
Dnd
was
recently
awarded
a
grant
of
50
000
from
the
boston
foundation
on
behalf
of
the
new
commonwealth
fund,
and
these
funds
will
be
used
to
hire
a
development
consultant
to
engage
and
assist
with
the
designation,
I'm
sorry
to
help
and
assist
designated
developers
on
the
sites
along
blue
avenue.
The
consultant
will
be
will
engage
with
the
designated
developers
to
provide
technical
assistance
as
needed
to
the
applicants
and
select
the
developers,
and
this
is
something
that
we
think
will
be
crucial
to
the
success
of
the
lab
action
plan.
E
The
development
objectives
for
the
program
are
essentially
based
on
feedback
that
we've
heard
from
the
community,
but
it's
basically
to
support
re-energize
retail
stores,
re-establish
community-based
shopping
districts,
along
with
anchor
retail,
promote,
promote
mixed-use
housing
and
promote
residents
and
businesses
to
contribute
and
participate
in
the
development
process,
and
this
is
something
that
we
think
will
be
will
be
really
important,
but
that's
sort
of
a
summary
of
of
where
we
are.
With
this,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
the
commissioners
may
have.
D
F
E
Oh,
I
think
there
were
some
questions
around
the
like
the
relationship
between
the
boston
foundation,
the
new
commonwealth
fund,
but
I
don't
think
this
was
presented
last
month.
Basically,
the
the
boston
foundation
and
the
new
commonwealth
center
sort
of
it's
like
a
branch.
The
new
commonwealth
is
a
branch
of
the
boston
foundation
which
is
actually
distributing
the
funds
that
we've
applied
before.
So
that's
that's
sort
of
the
relationship,
and
I
think
we
outline
it
a
little
bit
better
in
the
memo
as
well.
