Healey-Driscoll Administration Launches Grant Program to Promote Inclusive Outdoor Recreation

 Healey-Driscoll Administration Launches Grant Program to Promote Inclusive Outdoor Recreation  

New grant program to make outdoor recreational activities more accessible to low-income residents, communities of color, and people living with disabilities 

 

BOSTON - The Healey-Driscoll Administration today launched a new grant program to make outdoor recreational activities more accessible to low-income residents, communities of color, and people living with disabilities. The Massachusetts Inclusive and Accessible Outdoor Recreation Events Grant Program is the first funding initiative by the Massachusetts Office of Outdoor Recreation (MOOR). The office will award $100,000 to support organizations in creating or expanding events across the state, helping to promote Massachusetts as a welcoming, inclusive, diverse, and accessible place to play outside. 

 

“I am proud to launch the Massachusetts Inclusive and Accessible Outdoor Recreation Events Grant Program. It is the perfect opportunity for organizations to showcase the beautiful rivers, trails, and parks that we have to offer to all residents and visitors,” said MOOR Director Paul Jahnige. “The creation and promotion of accessible and inclusive events in nature support not only our mental, physical, and social health but the state’s economic health. Outdoor recreation is essential to deepening our connection to each other and the natural environment.” 

 

The program will award organizations with grants of up to $10,000 to non-profits, municipalities, state agencies, and partnerships between grantees and private organizations. MOOR is enthusiastic about supporting events in the natural environment, such as birdwatching, boating, hiking, and stargazing, that encourage returning and new audiences to the great outdoors. MOOR expects to announce the awardees in Spring 2024. 

 

Launched in December 2022, MOOR collaborates with agencies to promote activities across the state, including hunting, fishing, horseback riding, paddling, swimming, and more. Outdoor recreation is vital to the Massachusetts economy, contributing $11 billion to the economy, creating over 102,000 jobs, and boosting tourism. The benefits of outdoor play extend into both public health and environmental justice. Improving access to the outdoors improves the health of our communities while ensuring equity in outdoor recreation for historically underserved communities.

百人會將成立資料庫追蹤美國各州的限制非公民購買土地法案

              (Boston Orange 編譯) 百人會 (Committee of 100) 今 (15) 日宣佈，推出一個新的數據庫，辨識、解說美國國會及州政府正在考慮，或者甚至已經通過的，限制非美國公民購買土地法令。

              由美國著名華人組成的這非牟利組織，百人會，一直以來譴責佛羅里德州、德州，以及其他州的在州法中限制非美國公民購買土地。

              該資料庫網頁包括一份視覺化展示的互動式美國地圖，上面的數據可以包括在州法中的條文，禁止擁有土地的實體類別 (例如中國公民、總部在中國的企業)，以及禁止擁有的企業種類 (例如，居民、商業、農業財產)來過濾。

              百人會的數據會在每季更新的基礎上，追蹤法案，並記錄關於這主題的資源。

              百人會代理會長暨執行主任Cindy Tsai表示，”移民的貢獻對美國經濟及其競爭力，佔有極重要角色。不必要急過隊的限制，只會增加想要謀生存，並對美國社會有所貢獻的移民們所面對的限制。 這些法案合法化了關於移民的有害、仇外敘述，還創造了助長反亞裔暴力的條件。

Committee of 100 Denounces Recent Alien Land Laws, Launches Database to Track Harmful Legislation

New York, NY (December 15, 2023) — Committee of 100, a non-profit organization of prominent Chinese Americans, has been outspoken in denouncing the legislation in Florida, Texas and additional states that would limit the ability of non-U.S. citizens to purchase land in their state.

 
To track the recent surge of legislation prohibiting property ownership by Chinese citizens (including permanent residents) across the U.S., Committee of 100 is today launching a new database that identifies and explains such legislation considered, and in some cases passed, by Congress and state governments.
 
The webpage features an interactive map of the United States that visually demonstrates the data. The data can be filtered by the provisions included in the legislation, including the types of entities prohibited from owning property (e.g. Chinese citizens, businesses headquartered in China) and the types of properties prohibited from ownership  (e.g. residential, commercial, agricultural property).
 
Committee of 100’s database, tracking the legislation and documenting resources on the subject, will be updated on a quarterly basis.     
 
“Contributions by immigrants play a vital role in the U.S. economy and its competitiveness. Unnecessary and overzealous restrictions only add to the challenges faced by immigrants looking to live in and contribute to American society,” said Cindy Tsai, Committee of 100 Interim President and Executive Director. “These bills legitimize harmful and xenophobic narratives about immigrants, creating conditions that fuel anti-Asian violence.”

Healey-Driscoll Administration Delivers $100 Million in Fair Share Funds to Municipalities for Transportation Improvements

 Healey-Driscoll Administration Delivers $100 Million in Fair Share Funds to Municipalities for Transportation Improvements    

BOSTON - The Healey-Driscoll Administration today announced that it is delivering a total of $100 million to the state’s 351 cities and towns to support local infrastructure. The awards come from revenue generated by the Fair Share Amendment.  

  

“Our administration said from day one that we were going to make sure that Fair Share revenue was used to improve transportation and education for our communities, as the voters intended,” said Governor Maura Healey. “This funding is particularly impactful because we are empowering cities and towns to decide how to use it to address their unique needs. We are grateful to the Legislature for making this funding available and look forward to seeing how the municipalities will use it to strengthen their communities.”  

  

“As a former Mayor, I know how much our cities and towns rely on state funding to support their infrastructure needs of their communities,” said Lieutenant Governor Driscoll. “This funding will be a critical boost for them to move forward on projects like bridge preservation projects, improving Regional Transit Authority service, and expanding multi-modal pathways.”  

  

“We are so pleased to be able to give our cities and towns thousands of additional dollars for their transportation needs thanks to revenue from Fair Share,” said Transportation Secretary Monica Tibbits-Nutt. “Investments in transportation lift everyone up, increasing access to travel options and improving roadway safety for all users, regardless of whether they walk, bike, take public transportation or drive.”  

  

“Fair Share revenue represents a new and important source of funding that has enabled our administration to make vital investments in education and transportation,” said Secretary of Administration and Finance Matthew J. Gorzkowicz.  “I’m excited to see these important funds for transportation go out to our cities and towns to support their infrastructure needs. 

  

Letters have been sent to each municipality certifying that community’s Fair Share apportionment for Fiscal Year 2024. The Fair Share Amendment funds are being distributed according to two formulas. The first $50 million is being distributed using the traditional Chapter 90 formula based on local road mileage (58.33%), population (20.83%), and employment (20.83%). The second $50 million is being distributed using a formula based on each municipality’s share of road mileage.  

  

Each community is receiving a different total amount according to how the two formulas apportion the money. For example, Andover is receiving approximately $662,000, Barnstable more than $1 million, Framingham approximately $803,000, Lawrence approximately $542,000, Littleton approximately $210,000, Pittsfield approximately $657,000, Quincy approximately $783,000, Springfield approximately $1.6 million, and Worcester approximately $1.7 million.  This apportionment is automatically incorporated into a municipalities’ existing Chapter 90 contract with MassDOT with no further action required by the municipality. Apportionments for all communities are available online at www.mass.gov/chapter-90-program. The funds are now available for municipal use.  

  

Communities may use Fair Share revenue for construction, preservation, and improvement projects that create or extend the life of capital facilities. This includes costs for highway projects and pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Projects that are eligible would include installing sidewalks, bicycle lanes, new pavement, sidewalks, retaining walks, crossing signals, and other transportation infrastructure features.  

 

The Fair Share FY 2024 amounts by municipality can be found here. 

 

BPDA adopts PLAN: Downtown planning initiative

BOSTON - December 14, 2023 - The BPDA Board of Directors formally adopted the PLAN: Downtown planning initiative at their board meeting today. The community planning process, which originally began in 2018, establishes a new framework for the growth, enhancement, and preservation of Downtown Boston as a 24-hour neighborhood, balancing livability, affordability, walkability, climate change preparedness, access to open space, and a dynamic mix of uses. The adopted plan focuses on increasing housing and takes into account the effects of the pandemic on the Downtown neighborhood, such as the change in patterns to foot traffic and office work. “Downtown Boston is the job center and transportation hub of our City and region, and I’m excited by the opportunity we have to shape this area for years to come, in a way that is thoughtful and adaptive to our new ways of working and commuting in 2023 and beyond,” said Chief of Planning Arthur Jemison. “I am hopeful this plan will provide the necessary blueprint to bring new housing, entertainment options, and improved transportation options to Downtown.” “We are very pleased to see the continued progress of PLAN: Downtown, and particularly thrilled about the work to chart a course for growth for the Downtown neighborhood that is centered on improvements to our streets and public realm, smoothing the process of converting underutilized building assets, modernizing our transportation system, catalyzing new and more equitable opportunities for economic success, and ensuring a cleaner and greener environment for future generations,” said Downtown Boston Business Improvement District President Michael J. Nichols. Over the last several years, Boston’s Downtown has transformed from primarily a business district into a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood. Associated with this transformation, the critical need for new housing, and the lasting effects of the pandemic on Downtown and office culture is a clear need to comprehensively plan for the future of Downtown. PLAN: Downtown provides that guide for the future of the neighborhood, regarding growth and preservation, mobility, open space, and climate change resiliency. In terms of growth and historic preservation, the plan prioritizes increasing housing options, affordability, and mixed-use development alongside preserving Downtown’s distinct cultural heritage and historic building fabric. The plan identifies areas Downtown that can best accommodate new growth and density and areas that should be enhanced due to their historic buildings and cultural uses or preserved through the adaptive reuse of property. The office to residential conversion program, which launched in October, was the result of the office conversion study that was conducted as part of PLAN: Downtown. Analysis shows an initial 62 offices that could be candidates for downtown conversions. BPDA staff have been in touch with more than 50 of those prospects and many others outside of downtown who were not considered in the analysis. Just two or three of these office buildings converting to housing would be a significant step in creating a more active and revitalized Downtown. Another key aspect of the plan is to enhance mobility Downtown by creating more open space and public realm connections and supporting transit and bike and pedestrian infrastructure projects to improve connectivity. The plan focuses on making biking, walking, and using public transportation safer and easier for all residents, visitors, and workers. This includes widening sidewalks, creating new bike lanes where possible, as well as improving access to train stations. The plan identifies new opportunities for public space, and key improvements needed for existing ones to knit together a public realm network Downtown that welcomes everyone year-round. The plan also advocates for more green infrastructure and the repair of damaged and inaccessible sidewalks and pedestrian pathways, especially for areas that experience high foot traffic, like Chinatown. These recommendations are paired with resilience recommendations and policies to address climate change impacts, including increasing green surfaces and plantings to reduce heat and the risk of flooding and supporting building upgrades that lower carbon emissions. In terms of next steps, future zoning changes to put the plan into motion will come in three phases over the coming year. In the near term, zoning changes that are slated to be proposed this winter will focus on modernizing uses Downtown to encourage new and diverse businesses and entertainment uses to thrive. This spring, planners will work to create new zoning that will enable more density where appropriate to unlock new opportunities for housing Downtown. Staff will also work on new zoning for Chinatown that addresses the neighborhood’s needs as a vital cultural and community hub. In the long term, staff will focus on streamlining project mitigation through the ongoing Article 80 modernization process to reduce unpredictable project by project negotiation, and ensure new development projects support the longstanding needs of the community.

Healey-Driscoll Administration Announces Conversion of Former State Hospital into a 141-Unit Housing Development

 Healey-Driscoll Administration Announces Conversion of Former State Hospital into a 141-Unit Housing Development 

Walnut Street in Foxborough will create affordable housing for those age 55 and over 

FOXBOROUGH – Today, the Healey-Driscoll Administration announced that a former state hospital will be converted into more than 100 units of affordable housing, financed by millions of dollars in state and federal tax credits, subsidies and funding. 

Walnut Street is a 141-unit housing development located on the site of the former Foxborough State Hospital, which closed in 1975. The new housing development consists of 141 new construction units, restricted to those age 55 and over. A total of 120 units will be reserved for individuals or families earning less than 60 percent of the area median income, and 35 of those will be further reserved for those earning less than 30 percent of the area median income. 

The development is a partnership between the Affordable Housing Services Collaborative, and Onyx, a new Black woman owned developer specializing in affordable housing with a focus on equity and inclusion.   

“These 141 homes represent a much-needed boost to our housing production in Massachusetts and are a prime example of how we can utilize state-owned land to meet our housing needs,” said Governor Maura Healey. “We need to create more housing across the state to drive down costs and make Massachusetts a more affordable place for everyone. Developments like Walnut Street are a creative solution as we work to turn the tide of rising housing costs for our residents.” 

“Rising housing costs are impacting people across Massachusetts, especially our older residents,” said Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll. “By reserving these new homes for those age 55 and older and making the majority of them affordable, we’re sending a message that we value our long-time Massachusetts residents and want them to stay in the state they helped make a great place to live.” 

Walnut Street sits on 16 acres of land from the former state hospital and was given to the Foxborough Housing Authority by the state to create affordable housing for the region. Utilizing surplus state land for housing is a key part of the Healey-Driscoll Administration's strategy to meet the state’s demand for more housing and drive down costs for Massachusetts residents. 

“Walnut Street is an example of the enormous potential for utilizing state-owned land to build more housing for Massachusetts residents,” said Ed Augustus, Secretary for the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities. “But it is also an example of where we can do better. The process for disposing of surplus state land for important uses like housing has, in the past, taken too long. The Affordable Homes Act proposed by the Healey-Driscoll Administration would create paths to streamline the disposition of properties like this.”  

The Healey-Driscoll Administration used a variety of federal and state tax credits and other funding to support the project. Developers the Affordable Housing Services Collaborative and Onyx were awarded $14 million in subsidies from the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities. The project also received $5.7 million in American Rescue Plan (ARPA) rental funds, $3.65 million in state Low-Income Tax Credits and $1.1 million in federal 9% Low-Income Tax Credits. The development will also receive approximately $900,000 in federal 4% Low-Income Tax Credits to be finalized at closing. 

 

The town of Foxborough worked collaboratively with the state on the development. 

"As Foxborough's acting town manager, I was thrilled to learn of the $25 million in state and federal funding, coupled with tax credit subsidies, for the Walnut Street affordable housing project,” said Acting Town Manager of Foxborough Paige Duncan. “This significant financial support highlights a collaborative initiative between our town and state and federal government agencies, reflecting our shared commitment to addressing the pressing needs of Foxborough's seniors and seniors across the region. The Foxborough Housing Authority and the town have worked on this project for years, and witnessing it come to fruition is extremely gratifying. The Walnut Street project will serve as a flagship endeavor, promising affordable and accessible housing for our beloved seniors at a time of great need."  

“It’s going to take smart planning, persistence, and bold action to address a housing crisis that is squeezing out seniors and working people in the commonwealth," Senator Paul Feeney (D-Foxborough) said. "I’m proud and grateful that those ingredients came together for a historic public-private partnership in our community that will provide opportunities for many residents to live affordably. There were a lot of moving pieces and challenges to overcome, yet this collaboration of local, state, federal, and private partners, led by Town Manager Paige Duncan with the unwavering support of the Healey-Driscoll Administration stayed focused on the goal of providing much-needed housing opportunities in our region."   

Walnut Street also meets the state’s sustainable and green housing goals and is designed to meet Passive House certification standards, including the use of all-electric heating and cooling and solar arrays. In addition, the design includes special attention to indoor air quality and outdoor green characteristics such as stormwater management and drought-resistant plantings.

               (Boston Orange 周菊子劍橋市報導) 劍橋合唱團指揮顏毓芬12月9日在「水面樂影 (Melodies Afloat)」冬季演唱會中透露，該團計畫以演唱加解說，推廣已在麻州或美國出版的中文或閩南語歌曲，藉以讓更多合唱團考慮把台灣曲目列入演唱單，進而讓更多人接觸，了解台灣之美。

今年是劍橋合唱團成立的第30週年，12月9日在劍橋市一摩門教堂舉辦的冬季音樂會，為近百名出席者演唱了「忘了我是誰」、「月光箋」、「聽泉」、「浦公英」、「太湖船」、「花樹下」、「水面月影」等7首歌。

大提琴陳品璇為「太湖船」演奏。(周菊子攝)

其中的「月光箋」，歌詞取自張曼娟「風月書」，曲調來自波士頓本地作曲家周鑫泉。顏毓芬唸了「月光箋」的歌詞，「今夜，借月光為箋，用河流剪裁，以山岳分段…….，不能封緘，無法投遞，我的坦白與真誠，全然攤展，不再掩蔽，遲眠的人都見到，似緞光華，如霜美麗」。她形容周鑫泉很巧妙的把月光譜進了伴奏中，更指出，華人作文填詞，經常通篇無一愛字，卻情懷滿溢，富有詩意。

顏毓芬今年上半年再台灣待了蠻長一段時間，聽了無數場的音樂會，發現「蒲公英」這首歌無論是曲子架構，歌詞難易度，和聲，氣氛堆疊，都讓人印象深刻，而且還很好聽，所以特地把這首歌選入演唱曲。

指揮顏毓芬的丈夫陳立英 (左一)是劍橋合唱團的前任團長。(周菊子攝)

在演唱每一首歌之前，指揮顏毓芬都會中英文各一次的解說曲目由來與典故，讓人在欣賞美妙樂音之外，還知道了詞曲背後的許多故事，聽出更多感動。她還指出，當天特地由大提琴陳品璇伴奏的「太湖船」，以及「花樹下」、「水面月影」這3首歌，都是該團推廣計畫中的歌曲。

「花樹下」是極少數已在美國出版的客家歌曲之一，歌詞極美，原唱謝宇威在2004年推出這首歌時，獲得入圍金曲獎的最佳製作人，最佳專輯，最佳客語歌演唱等榮譽。劍橋合唱團為這首歌特地安排了男高音周晌昀獨唱了一段。

布魯克蘭鎮鎮議員王力遠全家來捧場。(周菊子攝)

「水面月影」則是4年前她到聖路易斯開會時遇到同學才發現，在美國出版的唯一一首台語歌。詞曲作者陳維斌是一位在日本執業30多年的醫師，因為思鄉，不斷創作，回台灣後才請劉新誠幫他寫成合唱曲。顏毓芬說這首歌的旋律之美，縈繞在心的讓她感動不已。

                           波士頓僑教中心主任潘昭榮和中心工作人員張小慧，布魯克蘭鎮鎮議員王力遠，紐英崙中華專業人員協會會長林致中，當天都特地出席支持。
