MAYOR WALSH ANNOUNCES 2016 BOSTON CULTURAL COUNCIL GRANT WINNERS

MAYOR WALSH ANNOUNCES 2016 BOSTON CULTURAL COUNCIL GRANT WINNERS

BOSTON - Friday, March 4, 2016 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh today announced that 177 organizations supporting arts and culture across the City of Boston were awarded a total of $428,650 by the Boston Cultural Council (BCC). The grant winners were selected through a competitive process and represent the diversity of Boston's arts community from the visual arts to theater, film and video, music, dance and the humanities. The BCC received 193 applications for the 2016 round. "Our local arts and culture organizations do an incredible job in promoting creative talent and strengthening the way arts influence our civic fabric," said Mayor Walsh. "I congratulate all those who received a grant, and I look forward to seeing the great work to come from these organizations." "We are thrilled to receive funding from the Boston Cultural Council," said Carol Knox, Executive Director of BalletRox. "Support from the BCC is crucial to the work that we do to expose Boston youth to the world of dance, which would otherwise be too costly for their families to afford." The Boston Cultural Council falls under the Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture and receives annual funding from the state-run Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC) to support the arts, humanities and innovative science programs that enhance the quality of life in the City of Boston. This year, the MCC allocated $179,000 to the Boston Cultural Council. Mayor Walsh this year added an additional $300,000 to the fund. Fourteen Boston residents are appointed to the BCC by the Mayor for six year terms. The BCC accepts applications each fall, which are then evaluated based on their proposals and their benefits to the city and its residents. Mayor Walsh has shown a strong commitment to the arts since being elected. This is the second year in a row that he has increased City funding to the BCC. Most recently, the Mayor announced in his State of the City address an additional $1 million in support of the arts.   Recently, Mayor Walsh announced the selection of three artists-in-residence for the City's first ever artists in residence program, who will work city departments to integrate the arts into city services. Additionally, Mayor Walsh committed funding to create an artist resource desk in the Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture to provide information about programs and services available to the city's creative talent.

(Boston Orange 周菊子報導) 香港入境事務處“香港歡迎你”推廣講座，3月2、3日來到波士頓，宣傳「輸入中國籍香港永久性居民第二代計劃」，符合資格的第二代，首次入境可無條件居留一年。

香港政府入境事務處去年5月4日開始試行歡迎移民第二代計畫，並優化了其他人才、專業人士和企業家的入境錯失，以吸引人才，解決香港人口老化、勞動力不足問題。

其中的“第二代”計畫，截至今年1月，已有227宗申請案，其中76宗來自美國，已獲審核批准的有127宗。

香港入境事務處助理首席入境事務主任黃健民，高級入境事務主任黃子銳，入境事務主任黎永鴻等三人，為宣導香港的這些吸引人才政策，來美兩週，拜訪六個城市，和僑學企業界晤談。

他們此行來美，重點宣傳不設限額的「輸入中國籍香港永久性居民第二代計劃」，以吸引香港永久居民的第二代回港發展。

凡是年紀介於18至40歲，在中國，香港，澳門及台灣以外地區出生，父母其中一方持有效的香港永久身份證，具有學士學位，中文或英文能力良好，有充裕資金可支持第一年居留期間生活費用者，不需要已經找到工作，都可申請。一旦獲批准，可攜帶配偶與子女同行。

其他的政策放寬部份，包括一般投資、就業政策，輸入內地人才計畫，以及優秀人才入境計畫，容許人才留港年期模式都放寬為2+3+3，或2+6，亦即可在居留兩年後，申請延長居留，每次三年，連續居留期滿七年後，可申請永久居留，或是居留滿二年後，若之前一年的年收入不低於二百萬港元，可一次延長居留六年。

            香港入境事務處的三人推廣團，2月28日抵美後，陸續拜訪紐約，波士頓，西雅圖，波特蘭，舊金山，洛杉磯等地，預計3月11日返港。

他們在波士頓地區於3月2日分別和哈佛大學，麻省理工學院的學子，學人晤談，3月3日和僑界會面後，3月4日轉往西雅圖。

MAYOR WALSH ANNOUNCES SELECTION OF BOSTON GARDEN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AS A PARTNER FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF CITY HALL PLAZA

MAYOR WALSH ANNOUNCES SELECTION OF BOSTON GARDEN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AS A PARTNER FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF CITY HALL PLAZA

BOSTON - Thursday, March 3, 2016 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh announced today that the City has selected Boston Garden Development Corporation as the vendor who will work with the City of Boston to enhance City Hall Plaza. "I am confident that the City of Boston has a great partner in Boston Garden Development Corporation who will help us make the best use year-round of the space we have at City Hall Plaza," said Mayor Walsh. "I thank all respondents for their thoughtful proposals and I look forward to the next steps as we reimagine the plaza as a thriving, healthy and innovative space." As the result of a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP), which the City released in September 2015 and re-issued in February 2016, the selection of the Boston Garden Development Corporation marks the start of a three-year contract to improve City Hall Plaza. Boston Garden Development Corporation will have the opportunity to add new programming elements to complement existing activities on the plaza, and add new temporary amenities. "Mayor Walsh has a vision for revitalizing City Hall Plaza into a thriving, healthy and innovative civic space," said CEO for Delaware North's Boston Holdings Charlie Jacobs. "I am proud that the Boston Garden Development Corporation has been recognized for sharing the Mayor's vision and that we are fully committed to a significant investment that will transform City Hall Plaza into a year-round destination.  We're looking forward to partnering with the city and exploring these proposed concepts, in collaboration with numerous local civic, arts and community organizations, to co-create and re-energize the plaza for the benefit of residents and visitors alike." The proposal represents a first step towards a vision for what City Hall Plaza can become, but is not a binding contract that will determine what will appear on the plaza. The City will work with the Boston Garden Development Corporation to determine what is feasible over the next three years. On Wednesday, February 17 and Thursday, February 18, the Selection Committee for the Enhancing City Hall Plaza RFP heard presentations from the three proponents. After reviewing each proposal and their pricing structures, the Selection Committee strongly recommended the Boston Garden Development Proposal. In the second round of the RFP, the City received three proposals: Boston Garden Development Corporation: This proposal calls for year-round programming of the Plaza, including an ice skating path in winter months and a "beach" set up for the summer. The proposal also called for separate activation of the different zones of the Plaza, which would still accommodate all the City's previously scheduled events. The plan also calls for the potential for an iconic observation wheel and a restaurant structure with a liquor license that would be run by Delaware North's Patina Restaurant Group.   The Anthem Group: This proposal called for year-round programming under the names "Winter's Landing" and "Summer's Landing".  Winter's Landing would involve a skating rink and a large, 200 seat Polar Bar that could host dinners and events. Summer's Landing would also have a dining option name City Bistro, and would involve over 800 programming options through the spring and summer. Winter's Landing encompasses a larger footprint on the Plaza.   Biederman Redevelopment Ventures: This proposal calls for a more measured approach than the previous two proposals. BRV was focused on giving ideas of the types of things that worked in other locations they have worked on, and the need to build-up to full scale over time. Plans could involve a winter skating feature, but that would depend on sponsorship agreements. There were also certain proposals that they would implement right away on certain parts of the Plaza, but they would rely on focus groups and interviews with users to decide how and where to expand.
