Healey-Driscoll Administration Introduces Transformative Redevelopment Opportunity at Bunker Hill Community College

 Healey-Driscoll Administration Introduces Transformative Redevelopment Opportunity at Bunker Hill Community College

State Will Seek a Development Partner to Deliver Academic Facilities and Commercial District

 BOSTON, MA – Today, the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM) and Bunker Hill Community College (BHCC) unveiled an Offering Memo detailing the state’s vision for a public-private partnership that will revitalize BHCC’s Charlestown campus and create cultural, educational, and recreational opportunities for the community. This development project will deliver a reimagined mixed-use district, including housing and commercial uses, as well as new, high-quality academic facilities for Massachusetts’ largest community college.   

DCAMM and BHCC are seeking a partner for the creation and implementation of a master redevelopment plan that meets the goals for the site, which include delivering new facilities for the College and creating private industry connections that drive student workforce opportunities. The partner will be expected to complete the redevelopment under a long-term ground lease with the Commonwealth. Interested parties are encouraged to review the Process Overview—which includes Selection Criteria— as detailed in the Offering Memo, and to register with the Newmark Virtual Deal Room as listed on DCAMM’s website. 

“Our community colleges are important anchors for our communities, offering high-quality and affordable education while also contributing to our local economies. This project is an opportunity to revitalize the Bunker Hill campus while also bringing new housing and businesses to the neighborhood,” said Governor Maura Healey. “We recently celebrated BHCC’s 50^th anniversary, and today we reinforce our commitment to a bright future for this institution.” 

“Bunker Hill Community College—like all of our public colleges and universities—not only offers a top-notch education but also drives economic opportunity and workforce development," said Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll. “Our project on the BHCC campus will bolster the College’s positive impact on our state while creating an opportunity to contribute to our administration’s housing development goals in this exceptional location.” 

“Our students deserve facilities that match their aspirations,” said BHCC President Pam Eddinger. “We envision our future campus as a community hub that supports students’ needs, celebrates their diversity, and positions them as leaders in the next-generation workforce.” 

“A strong public educational system is critical to our state’s economic vitality—creating career pathways for individuals and a trained, qualified workforce for our businesses,” said Secretary of Administration & Finance Matthew J. Gorzkowicz. “We look forward to unlocking unprecedented opportunities for the countless stakeholders who will benefit from the revitalization of Bunker Hill Community College.” 

“DCAMM is proud to partner with Bunker Hill Community College as we embark on a redevelopment that will meet the College’s capital needs while decarbonizing the campus and benefitting the entire region,” said DCAMM Commissioner Adam Baacke. “We are grateful for the visionary leadership of President Eddinger and the BHCC team as we release this Offering Memo previewing the unparalleled potential of this site for transformative redevelopment.” 

"The Healey-Driscoll Administration's investments in Massachusetts' community colleges have been extraordinary,” said BHCC Board Chair Bill Walczak. “We look forward to having a new, state of the art Bunker Hill Community College within a campus that offers students opportunities for learning, internships, work, and recreation. These investments in education and workforce development will benefit generations to come." 

“I am looking forward to seeing the impact this public-private partnership and redevelopment project will have on Bunker Hill Community College, enabling students, educators, and the wider community to spend time in newer, modern, and more sustainable learning and workforce environments,” said Secretary of Education Dr. Patrick Tutwiler. 

“I commend the Healey-Driscoll Administration and Bunker Hill Community College for being forward-looking about which facilities will best serve students and the surrounding community for many years,” said Commissioner of Higher Education Noe Ortega. “I’m excited to see this significant redevelopment project move ahead and look forward to the many new opportunities it will create.” 

Founded in 1973, Bunker Hill Community College—the largest community college in Massachusetts—is at an inflection point. Driven in part by MassReconnect, the Healey-Driscoll administration’s program providing free community college education for students aged 25 and over, BHCC is experiencing unprecedented demand while confronting significant deferred maintenance and capital needs. The Healey-Driscoll administration’s vision for this redevelopment entails state-of-the-art new academic infrastructure that addresses capital needs, facilitates industry alliances, and promotes economic, environmental, and social initiatives. 

This redevelopment opportunity benefits from BHCC’s exceptional urban location and proximity to public transportation—just north of downtown Boston, within a mile of the world-renowned life science and technology cluster of Cambridge’s Kendall Square, and walking distance to Cambridge Crossing, a new mixed-use complex anchored by global life science organizations. 

The genesis of this redevelopment was a Vision Project BHCC started in late 2019, which included soliciting community input from College leaders, faculty, staff, and students. In 2022, BHCC initiated public engagement with neighbors, workforce partners, elected officials and government leaders, and the communities that the College serves to further inform this process. 

Following today’s Offering Memo release, DCAMM and BHCC will advertise a call for offers in the coming months. Interested, prospective developers will have the opportunity to visit the BHCC site by request. All tour requests should be directed to: Michael Byrne and Lauren Donahue at Newmark: Michael.Byrne@nmrk.com and Lauren.Donahue@nmrk.com

Mayor Michelle Wu, Boston Parks Department cut ribbon on improvements to Roslindale Wetlands Urban Wild

Mayor Michelle Wu, Boston Parks Department cut ribbon on improvements to Roslindale Wetlands Urban Wild

Boston, MA - June 26, 2024 - Mayor Michelle Wu was joined on Saturday, June 22 by the Longfellow Area Neighborhood Association (LANA), elected officials, and community members to cut the ribbon on improvements to the Roslindale Wetlands Urban Wild. This event celebrated the 2021 acquisition of 108 Walter Street Parcel, a 35,000-square-foot parcel that has been added to the existing 9.5-acre Roslindale Wetlands Urban Wild, and the recent completion of $1 million in capital improvements to the site. 

“Making Boston a home for everyone means embracing every opportunity for sustainability and affordability to go hand in hand,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “When we work together with our neighbors who know that more is possible, we are able to address our most immediate needs and make Boston the best possible home for generations to come.”

In a cross-departmental effort to support Boston’s climate goals and the creation of new affordable homeownership units, 104-108 Walter Street was acquired in 2020 by the Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA) and in June 2021 the 108 Walter Street Parcel, which abuts the existing wetlands, was transferred to the Boston Conservation Commission (BCC) to be stewarded as part of the Boston Parks Department’s Roslindale Wetlands Urban Wild. To pay for this acquisition on behalf of the BCC, the Boston Parks and Recreation Department received a state Landscape Acquisition for Natural Diversity (LAND) grant and used an FY21 Capital Budget initiative, called the Climate Resilience Reserve. The adjacent parcel at 104 Walter Street has been designated for affordable homeownership units. 

Phase I and II improvements to Roslindale Wetlands Urban Wild include a new accessible entrance on Walter Street, new and renovated walking trails, benches, interpretive signage, nature observation overlooks, wetland buffer restoration, and new native tree and shrub plantings. Design and construction meetings took place in 2020 and 2022 and construction was completed earlier this year. 

“This project and the Roslindale Wetlands Urban Wild are a testament to the power of community collaboration and the importance of preserving our natural spaces,” said Boston Parks Commissioner Ryan Woods. “This completed project is now open for residents of all ages to explore and learn about the natural world here in Boston.” 

Since 2005, LANA’s Roslindale Wetlands Task Force has advocated for the restoration and permanent preservation of this land including raising funds for the purchase of a smaller private parcel and partnering with the City of Boston to secure the LAND grant which partially funded the purchase of 108 Walter Street. 

"To see the ecological restoration and the new path that was made possible is truly a delight and a culmination of many years of neighborhood advocacy," said LANA President Kathy McCabe. "We're thrilled that this project not only promotes climate resiliency but also affordable homeownership, which we welcome in the LANA neighborhood." 

“We advocated for two decades for sound and responsible uses of the Roslindale Wetlands.  Along the way, many people in government came to agree with our goals and became helpful allies in this effort,” said Jim Taff head of the Roslindale Wetlands Task Force, “The result has been important victories for the entire city in land conservation and habitat restoration, and the addition of affordable home ownership alongside it.”

Japan-Republic of Korea-United States Commerce and Industry Ministerial Meeting

Joint Statement: Japan-Republic of Korea-United States Commerce and Industry Ministerial Meeting WASHINGTON, DC – We, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo; Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry Saito Ken; and Republic of Korea (ROK) Minister of Trade, Industry, and Energy Ahn Duk-geun met in Washington today for the inaugural meeting of Commerce and Industry Ministers. United by the vision established by our three leaders at their historic Trilateral Summit at Camp David on August 18, 2023, we resolve to focus our joint efforts on a set of strategic areas designed to enhance the security and prosperity of our people and the Indo-Pacific region. Our shared intent is to leverage this trilateral mechanism to promote the development of critical and emerging technologies and strengthen the security and resiliency of our economies. Recognizing these two goals are intertwined, we aim to prioritize cooperation to strengthen the resilience of supply chains in key sectors, including semiconductors and batteries; and to promote the Principles on Resilient and Reliable Supply Chains, namely, transparency, diversification, security, sustainability, and trustworthiness and reliability. Together, we seek to deepen our coordination of export controls on advanced technologies; enhance private sector partnerships for collaborative research and innovation related to advanced industrial technologies; advance efforts to develop international standards and ensure safe, secure, and trustworthy use of artificial intelligence (AI); expand collaboration on critical and emerging technologies and on critical minerals; work together to strengthen economic security; and support long-term economic cooperation among the partners to support operationalizing the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF).  As part of these efforts, there is an urgency to our three sides working closely together to identify potential supply chain vulnerabilities for strategic goods that have resulted from a wide range of non-market policies and practices. We share concerns over the weaponization of economic dependencies on certain supply sources for strategic goods. To address the resulting, systemic vulnerabilities stemming from such dependencies, we intend to promote a level playing field through more closely coordinated efforts – including working together, and with other partners, on relevant criteria that take into account not only economic factors, but also factors linked to the Principles on Resilient and Reliable Supply Chains.    Semiconductors: We reaffirm our recognition of the essential role that semiconductors play in a wide range of industries and applications important to the growth of our economies and preservation of our national security. We note our shared interest in building resilient semiconductor supply chains and aim to accelerate cooperation to achieve this goal. Clean Energy: Recognizing the need to reduce the carbon intensity and overall greenhouse gas emissions of our respective economies, we reaffirm the importance of trilateral cooperation to strengthen global battery supply chains. In addition, we concur that clean/zero emission and low-carbon hydrogen and its derivatives, such as clean ammonia, will play an essential role in the decarbonization of a wide variety of sectors. Towards that end, we intend to cooperate to promote the development of secure and resilient global supply chains for clean/zero emission and low-carbon hydrogen and its derivatives, including the consideration of their carbon intensity, and to explore how the three ministries that we lead can enhance cooperation on low- and/or carbon-free energy emissions technologies, including clean/zero emission and low-carbon hydrogen and its derivatives. Critical Minerals: We further reaffirm the importance of increasing the availability of critical minerals and resilience of the supply chains, including through enhanced processing and refining capabilities, which is a crucial step in the clean energy transition. We plan to further efforts by our governments and private sectors to promote and encourage the development of Rare Earth Element (REE) technologies, including REE extraction and separation, and to work to establish stable supply chains for REEs and permanent magnets. We share concerns over recent non-market measures we have witnessed, which may lead to unreasonable and significant supply chain disruptions for critical minerals that include gallium, germanium, and graphite, and we are determined to take appropriate actions where necessary to secure sustainable and resilient global supply chains. Export Controls: We appreciate the transformative role that critical and emerging technologies will play in expanding our economies and reshaping the competitive and strategic landscape. Our three countries have an inherent interest in promoting the responsible use of such technologies, while denying technological advances to those who may utilize them to threaten global peace and security and undermine human rights. We note the progress being made through the U.S.-Japan-ROK Disruptive Technology Protection Network (DTPN), and we welcome its high-level meeting in Washington on April 25, which resulted in the signing of two memoranda of intent to enhance cooperation and information sharing to combat illicit technology transfer, and to further align on enforcement of export controls. We also welcome the success of the 30th Asian Export Control Seminar, hosted by Japan in February in cooperation with the United States and ROK, which advanced strategic trade control systems across Asia. We applaud the February convening of export control principals from our three countries to discuss further alignment of export control policies and enhancement of our ability to effectively collaborate on shared priorities. The principals agreed to cooperate on controls for critical and emerging technologies, further align on Russia controls, and collaborate on outreach to countries in Southeast Asia. AI: We are aligned on the need to enhance cooperation in promoting the responsible use of AI by our private sectors, and to deepen discussions on establishing interoperable standards, methods, and evaluations for AI safety. We welcome the important work being undertaken by the U.S. and Japanese AI Safety Institutes, and we aim to explore ways to initiate collaborative research and innovation among our private sectors for AI. Cybersecurity: We are aware of, and understand the importance that effective cybersecurity plays in our economic security and for the protection of critical infrastructure, systems, and data, and we commend the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for its recent release of its Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. Standards: We recognize that technical standards will play an increasingly crucial role in promoting interoperability, competitiveness, inclusivity, and innovation in strategic technologies and sectors of our economies. We concur on the importance of continuing to work together to utilize existing cooperation frameworks and advance international standardization efforts. IPEF: We welcome the progress made at the June IPEF Ministerial meeting and related events in Singapore, including the signing of the IPEF Clean Economy Agreement, Fair Economy Agreement, overarching Agreement on IPEF, and entry into force of the Supply Chain Agreement at the end of February. We reaffirm our commitment to working together and with the other IPEF partners to deliver tangible benefits to the IPEF partners’ economies, citizens, and the private sector under these agreements. In addition, we welcome the outcomes of the inaugural Clean Economy Investor Forum, a landmark event that helped facilitate private investment in the Indo-Pacific region and a clear demonstration of the innovative approaches in which IPEF partners and the private sector can collaborate. We also reaffirm our commitment to the IPEF Clean Economy Agreement, including through the launch among participating IPEF partners of the Cooperative Work Programs on hydrogen, clean electricity, carbon markets, just transition, sustainable aviation fuel, embedded intensity accounting, e-waste urban mining, and small modular reactors. NEXT STEPS: We pledge to support investment into one another’s economies and commercial engagements to the benefit of our economies, private sectors, workers, and communities. Looking ahead, we intend to meet annually at the Ministerial level and to charge our teams to engage between meetings to advance progress in the areas identified for collaboration.
