Six Dot projects get some much needed funding!
Thanks to the the Community Preservation Act funding six Dorchester projects have been recommended for funding approval by Mayor Marty Walsh. The lucky six include the Sip & Spoke Bike Kitchen in Upham’s Corner, the Talbot Commons housing development, Arx Urban Development’s Jones Hill/Savin Hill project, Hemenway Playground reno, Talbot-Norfolk Triangle Children’s Garden and the Lemuel Clap and William Clapp Houses!
To refresh your memory, back in 2016 we voted in favor of the Community Preservation Act which levies a $1 percent surcharge on property taxes to help fund community projects.
According to the Boston Globe, an opening list of projects include a dock for a sailing program in Southie to an urban farm in Hyde Park, in addition to the ones in Dorchester. There are 35 total project recommended for $8 million in funding.
