Be informed. Get involved.
A community advisory committee has been organized in connection to the newly proposed Dorchester Bay City development and will have their first meeting tonight. This 5.9 million square feet “city” would include 1,740 residential units, 155,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space and four million square feet of office space. It will also have 20 acres of open green space too and will be the city’s largest development for the area that was the old Bayside Expo next to UMass Boston!
The advisory committee will give a project update to the Boston Civic Design Commission on Tuesday at 5:15pm-6:45pm. This meeting will be virtual and you can tune in by visiting here.
