MAYOR MARTIN J. WALSH AND THE ELDERLY COMMISSION PARTNER WITH AARP FOR AGE-FRIENDLY FORUM


MAYOR MARTIN J. WALSH AND THE ELDERLY COMMISSION PARTNER WITH AARP FOR AGE-FRIENDLY FORUM 
Discuss City's Age-Friendly plan with local communities


 

BOSTON- August 9, 2017- Mayor Martin J. Walsh, the Commission on Affairs of the Elderly, and AARP yesterday hosted a panel discussion with age-friendly leaders from across Massachusetts.The forum highlighted the work happening in Boston and throughout the Commonwealth to make communities inclusive, welcoming, and safe for people as they age.

As a member of AARP's Network of Age-Friendly Communities, Boston recently launched its Age-Friendly Action Plan, a comprehensive plan with 75 action items to create an environment where older adults continue to lead healthy and productive lives in Boston.

"Our Age-Friendly Boston Action Plan is our road map to make sure our City works for everyone, of all ages and abilities," said Mayor Martin J. Walsh. "It's a blueprint of specific, creative ideas generated from older adults in Boston, and we are proud to share that work and experience with other communities across the Commonwealth."

Age-Friendly community leaders and experts gathered at the University of Massachusetts Club for a panel that brought together representatives from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs, the City of Boston's Elderly Affairs Commission, the City of Newton, the Town of Acton, and the Tufts Health Plan Foundation.

The panel was moderated by Nancy LeaMond, AARP Executive Vice President and Chief Advocacy and Engagement Officer for AARP.

"Mayor Walsh has been a leading voice fighting to protect healthcare and Federal programs that benefit older adults," said LeaMond. "Through plans like Vision Zero and GoBoston2030, Boston's transportation plan, Mayor Walsh has made it a major priority to make Boston even safer and the most walkable city."

"There is a pressing need to create livable communities for people of all ages. In less than 15 years, one out of every five people in the country will be 65 or older, a demographic shift that will be felt in every community," said Mike Festa, AARP Massachusetts State Director. "In the city of Boston, we've seen Mayor Walsh' tremendous interest in and energy put toward tackling livability, with solutions that benefit not only older constituents but people of all ages."

Carl Baty, longtime community advocate and a senior voice in Boston's Age-Friendly Action Plan, attended the event. Baty highlighted the amount of community engagement that led to the final plan and stressed the importance of continuing to have older adults involved in City planning."If you've never been old, how do you know what older adults need?" said Baty. "It's good to get an invite and have a seat at the table."

Baker-Polito Administration Issues Regulations to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Reach Global Warming Solutions Act Goals

Baker-Polito Administration Issues Regulations to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Reach Global Warming Solutions Act Goals

BOSTON – In accordance with Governor Charlie Baker’s Executive Order 569An Order Establishing an Integrated Climate Change Strategy for the Commonwealth, the Baker-Polito Administration today issued final regulations that build upon the Commonwealth’s nation-leading efforts to further reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and protect communities, residents, and infrastructure from the impacts of climate change. The regulations, published by the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and developed with significant stakeholder input, seek to ensure the Commonwealth achieves the greenhouse gas emissions limits for 2020, required by the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2008. 

“Combatting and preparing for the impact of climate change remains a top priority of our administration, and requires collaboration across state government and with stakeholders throughout Massachusetts,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “These regulations will help ensure the Commonwealth meets the rigorous emission reductions limits established in the Global Warming Solutions Act in order to protect our residents, communities, and natural resources from the effects of climate change.”

“Our Administration has worked with urgency to develop sensible, effective regulations that will continue the Commonwealth’s efforts to continue achieving nation-leading greenhouse gas emission reductions,” said Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito. “The final rules were carefully crafted with significant stakeholder engagement from across the state, demonstrating a balanced approach to combating climate change while continuing to grow our economy and build strong communities.”

To position the Commonwealth to meet its emission reduction limits under the Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA), the final regulations lay out an approach to reduce GHG emissions from multiple sectors. Pursuant to the GWSA, in 2010 the Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs established a 2020 GHG emissions reduction limit of 25 percent below 1990 emissions levels and the GWSA requires at least an 80 percent reduction by 2050.

As of 2014, the Commonwealth had reduced emissions by 21 percent from 1990 levels, leaving about 4 percent remaining to achieve the 2020 goal. The six final regulations announced today will, along with other Commonwealth climate policies, ensure that this goal is achieved by addressing emissions from the natural gas distribution network, the transportation sector, the electric sector, focusing on generation and consumption, and gas insulated switchgear. The rules ensure that state agencies are “leading by example” with their use of more efficient and advanced technology vehicles, complement Massachusetts’ nation-leading portfolio of clean energy programs, including the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, and address other sources of carbon dioxide emissions.

The regulations address:
-          Carbon Dioxide Emission Limits for the Commonwealth’s State Fleet Passenger Vehicles;
-          Global Warming Solutions Act Requirements for Transportation;
-          Reducing Methane Emissions from Natural Gas Distribution Mains and Services;  
-          Increasing clean energy through the development of a Clean Energy Standard; 
-          Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Electricity Generating Facilities; and
-          Reducing Sulfur Hexafluoride Emissions from Gas-Insulated Switchgear.

“Combatting climate change requires that we do as much as we can to avoid the worst impacts of climate change by reducing emissions, while also working to build resilience and adapt to ongoing impacts that we’re already experiencing across the state,” said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Matthew Beaton.“Completion of these regulations in under a year marks a significant milestone towards implementing Governor Baker’s Executive Order on Climate Change and demonstrates our continued commitment and leadership on this issue.”

Under Section 2 of Executive Order No. 569, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) was directed to publish proposed regulations by December 16, 2016, hold public hearings on the proposed regulations by February 24, 2017, and finalize those regulations by August 11, 2017. The Executive Order’s requirements followed a decision by the Supreme Judicial Court, in the case of Kain v. DEP, where the court ruled that the steps mandated by the GWSA include promulgation of regulations by MassDEP that establish declining annual aggregate limits on multiple GHG emission sources or categories of sources. The Executive Order also directs the state to begin planning for climate change adaptation and working with cities and towns across the state to assess vulnerability and build resiliency to address climate change impacts.

“The Commonwealth benefitted from extensive public comment on these issues,”said MassDEP Commissioner Martin Suuberg. “We received more than 300 comments in this process, and reviewed the information submitted carefully to develop these final rules.”

“Thanks to the Legislature’s passage of the Global Warming Solutions Act, Massachusetts continues to lead the nation in reducing harmful emissions and protecting the health of all of our residents,” said Senate President Stanley Rosenberg (D-Amherst). “This new set of regulations will help ensure that we achieve the goals set out in the original Act.”

“Massachusetts emerged as a national leader in the fight against climate change with the creation of the Global Warming Solutions Act. Achieving its rigorous emission reduction targets will require programs spanning multiple sectors of our economy. I applaud the Department of Environmental Protection for taking a strong step forward in reducing the Commonwealth’s emissions by completing these regulations. We must continue taking bold action to make a meaningful impact in our state’s carbon future,” said State Representative Frank Smizik (D-Brookline), Chairman of the House Committee on Global Warming and Climate Change.

“These rules re-establish the Commonwealth as a national leader in developing sensible, enforceable standards to transition our economy to a low-carbon future,”said Brad Campbell, president of the Conservation Law Foundation.  “Much more needs to be done, and Governor Baker’s leadership will be essential to getting neighboring states to take meaningful action to prepare New England for the energy future being shaped by the Paris climate agreement.” 

While the final, official version of the rules are published in the Massachusetts Register, an electronic version, the public comments received and other information about MassDEP’s rules can be found at this portal.

WINNDEVELOPMENT CHOSEN TO REDEVELOP MARY ELLEN MCCORMACK PUBLIC HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

WINNDEVELOPMENT CHOSEN TO REDEVELOP MARY ELLEN MCCORMACK PUBLIC HOUSING DEVELOPMENT 
Boston Housing Authority designation begins major redevelopment of the historic South Boston housing community
BOSTON - Friday, August 11, 2017 - WinnDevelopment Company, LP has been selected by the Boston Housing Authority to redevelop the first and one of the largest public housing developments in New England. Built in the 1930s, Mary Ellen McCormack (MEM) consists of 1,016 deeply subsidized apartments and row houses. The proposed plan will rebuild the site into a vibrant mixed-income community with a thoughtful design that embraces the existing residents and connects with the surrounding neighborhood.

"The Mary Ellen McCormack redevelopment effort is another example of our commitment to improving the quality of life for all Boston residents," said Mayor Martin J. Walsh. "As the oldest public housing development in the city, MEM marks an important piece of our history and also serves as a significant example of how important and needed our public housing communities are. We must preserve this resource, and I look forward to this development becoming an even better resource and home for many. "   

The proposed redevelopment would take place over four phases, paying close attention to the needs and concerns of relocated residents. The current proposal calls for a total of approximately 3,000 new units, including replacement of all existing units, creation of workforce (middle-income) units, as well as market rate apartments and home ownership condominiums. In addition, all units, regardless of affordability level, will be of identical quality and integrated evenly among the newly constructed buildings.

"We are excited and pleased with the selection of WinnDevelopment, LP for Mary Ellen McCormack," said Tenant Task Force Executive Director, Carol Sullivan. "They heard us and listened to our ideas about how to make our development better; we are excited about this partnership and BHA's choice."

The WinnDevelopment plan was one of five proposals that BHA received in response to a Request for Proposals for the redevelopment in South Boston. A selection committee comprised of residents of the Mary Ellen McCormack public housing development and BHA staff reviewed proposals and interviewed all teams that submitted proposals. The Winn team received high points from the selection committee for its demonstrated model for strong resident partnerships and robust resident services, items which are a priority for existing residents at the site. BHA and the developer will kick off the design process by holding a series of resident and community meetings In the near future.

"Mary Ellen is a community that is near and dear to me; in fact I call it home," said BHA Administrator Bill McGonagle, who grew up in the development. "Preserving housing developments by creating partnerships with developers who understand the value of community is key to maintaining our housing stock in this city. I am pleased with the selection of Winn and look forward to working with the residents and the development team."

As with previous BHA redevelopment efforts, residents will be offered relocation options that will include moves to other BHA public housing sites or Housing Choice/Section 8 vouchers.  Existing residents will have the right to return to the site after redevelopment.

"We are grateful for the chance to partner with the McCormack residents, the BHA and the City of Boston to redevelop this community into a first class mixed-income neighborhood," said WinnCompanies CEO Gilbert Winn. "We recognize the property is old and therefore requires a major redevelopment effort. Our goal then, is to move through the formal approval process as quickly as possible while paying close attention to resident and community input."

BHA issued the Request for Proposals (RFP) for redevelopment of the Mary Ellen McCormack site as part of a wider strategy to upgrade and make sustainable its affordable housing communities in the wake of historic federal budget cuts. The creation of additional market rate and workforce housing will also further Mayor Walsh's goal of creating 53,000 new units of housing by 2030. 

Prior to issuing the Mary Ellen McCormack RFP, BHA issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in November 2014, asking the non-profit and for-profit development community for ideas about how to preserve public housing units with decreased reliance on federal public housing subsidy, which has been shrinking for many years. There is a copy of the RFQ and more information on the BHA's funding situation in our Five-Year Plan on the BHA's website.
