grant
from

This

For

the

the

For
the
fellow
is
october

2020.,
the
fellow
will
add
much
needed
capacity
to
our
design
unit.
F
During
their
two
years
at
d
d,
they
will
contribute
to
the
design
review
of
projects
the
agency
funds
and
support
a
number
of
special
initiatives,
including
the
next
phase
of
boston's
additional
dwelling
unit
policy,
refining
our
neighborhood
homes
initiative
program
and
offering
design
solutions
to
improve
public
engagement.
With
our
projects,
the
rose
fellowship
was
established
in
2000
to
partner
architects,
landscape,
architects
and
community-based
designers
with
local
community
organizations
to
facilitate
an
inclusive
approach
that
results
in
sustainable,
healthy
and
affordable
communities.
F
The
fellowship
attracts
early
to
mid-career
design
professionals
who
are
looking
to
commit
themselves
to
a
career
in
socially
impactful
design
and
affordable
housing.
The
fellowship
is
highly
competitive
for
both
fellows
and
hosts.
Boston
was
excited
to
be
selected
in
january
as
a
host,
along
with
six
other
finalists
from
around
the
country,
communities
from
which
we

G
You
tt
and
good
morning,
commissioners,
I
will
be
presenting
one
vote
request
today,
I'm
here
requesting
the
pfc
approval
for
the
tentative
designation
of
norfolk
design
and
construction
llc
for
the
parcels
identified
in
vote
package
three
in
the
dorchester
roxbury
section
of
boston.
These
parcels
are
offered
under
the
mayor's
home
neighborhood
homes,
initiative
d
d
conducted
an
extensive
public
process.
That
revolted
resulted
in
this
vote
request.
G
G
Seven
development
teams
applied
to
the
rfp
and
five
were
determined
to
have
met
the
eligibility
criteria
as
a
preferred
developer.
Norfolk,
design
and
construction
llc
was
invited
to
a
virtual
community
meeting
on
july
30th
2020
to
present
their
proposal
where
they
received
very
positive
feedback
and
based
on
this
community
feedback
and
the
dnd
review
of
all
eligible
applications
against
the
rfp
evaluation
criteria.
We
recommend
the
tentative
developer
designation
of
norfolk
design
and
construction.
G
Norfolk,
llc
and
construction
demonstrated
the
strongest
track
record
of
development
is
the
most
experienced
of
the
development
groups
and
has
the
capacity
to
take
on
the
development.
Furthermore,
norfolk,
design
and
construction
outlined
the
most
competitive
development
budget,
in
addition
to
their
experience,
norfolk,
design
and
construction's
application
provided
evidence
of
the
group's
ability
to
access
financing,
norfolk
design
and
construction
is
a
certified
minority
business
enterprise
and
a
veteran-owned
company.
They
also
included
a
detailed
plan
to
engage
local
and
minority
contractors
and
subcontractors
to
maximize
diversity
through
its
bidding
process.
G
G
And
15
15a
will
also
include
the
two
family
shown
under
14a,
so
these
are
the
four
structures
that
will
be
built
if
approved.
In
summary,
if
pfc
approves
the
vote
request,
it
will
result
in
the
following
public
benefits.
The
project
will
result
in
a
total
of
six
new
affordable
units
consisting
of
two
two
family
structures,
ownership
and
rental,
and
two
single-family
homes,
ownership.
G
The
homes
will
be
all
affordable,
split
between
80
percent,
ami
and
100
ami
and
the
affordability
mix
will
include
two
middle-income
sales
plus
one
rental
unit
and
two
moderate
income
sales
plus
one
rental
unit.
All
the
units
will
be
deed,
restricted
and
remain
affordable
for
50
years.
The
project
will
revitalize
three
parcels
of
underutilized
vacant
land
in
the
neighborhood.
G
The
parcels
have
been
in
the
city's
inventory,
ranging
from
30
to
47
years.
The
project
is
also
expected
to
create
9765
construction
hours,
which
will
generate
jobs
among
building
trades
and
by
removing
these
parcels
from
the
city
inventory
they
will.
The
city
will
be
able
to
avoid
the
future
costs
and
liabilities
associated
with
maintaining
these
properties
by
passing
on
the
responsibility
to
norfolk,
design
and
construction.
