MAYOR WALSH, THE BOSTON MAIN STREETS FOUNDATION LAUNCH GRANT TO INCREASE CONNECTIVITY AND ENRICH PROGRAMMING BETWEEN NEIGHBORHOOD SMALL BUSINESSES
|
BOSTON - Friday, May 4, 2018 - Mayor Walsh and the Boston Main Streets Foundation today announced the release of the Connected Communities Exploration Grant, a joint effort focused on creating innovative ways to support local businesses and business districts by increasing connectivity between neighborhoods with both innovative programming and expanded transportation options. The grant, offered by the Boston Main Streets Foundation in collaboration with the Mayor's Offices of Economic Development and New Urban Mechanics, is part of a suite of challenge grants and builds upon the successful Main Streets Explorer pilot program that provided a trolley between Roslindale, Hyde Park and West Roxbury business districts this past December.
"I am excited to work with the Boston Main Streets Foundation to foster new and creative ways to bring more patrons to the small businesses in our neighborhoods, and provide transportation options to easily connect residents with all that our business districts have to offer," said Mayor Martin J. Walsh. "Through these grants, partnerships will be formed throughout Boston's neighborhood commercial districts, allowing for increased visibility and year-round support for Boston's small businesses to thrive."
Over the 2017 winter holidays, the Mayor's Office of New Urban Mechanics, Mayor's Office of Economic Development, Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services, and three Boston Main Streets organizations partnered with the Boston Main Streets Foundation to pilot a free shuttle service between Roslindale, Hyde Park, and West Roxbury. For this particular pilot run, the Main Streets Explorer took the form of a trolley-style shuttle and was fitted with holiday decorations and lights, and stopped at central locations on Main Streets every Thursday for a month. Games, snacks, blankets, and discounts at local businesses were offered to encourage families to ride and explore. The Main Streets Explorer was an experiment in how to support neighborhood connection -- a goal the Connected Communities Grant builds upon.
"The Foundation is extremely pleased to be working with the Mayor's Offices of New Urban Mechanics and Economic Development to introduce a broader cross-section of Boston residents and visitors to our wonderful and diverse Main Streets Districts," said Foundation President Joel Sklar. "In every corner of this city, there are commercial districts and plazas teeming with the creativity and culture that makes Boston truly unique."
The Connected Communities grant offers a total of up to $50,000 to support (1) complementary and progressive programming between two to three Districts, and (2) design and operation of a Main Streets Explorer. This grant is intended to make neighborhood exploration easier and more accessible, connect residents and deepen their understanding of the city and all it offers, and spur economic growth within Boston's small business community.
The Main Streets Foundation and the City of Boston is committed to supporting Boston Main Streets exploration, strategies, and programs. With coordinated programming between Main Streets Districts and thoughtful transportation, the Main Streets Foundation and City of Boston hope to enable exploration, connection, and investment in neighborhoods across Boston.

Lt. Governor Karyn Polito Signs Final Community Compact for all 351 Cities and Towns, Proclaims May as Municipal Month
Lt. Governor Karyn Polito Signs Final Community Compact for all 351 Cities and Towns, Proclaims May as Municipal Month
Governor Baker and Lt. Governor Polito were joined by local officials, mayors, town managers, legislators, and members of the Massachusetts Municipal Association
BOSTON – Today, Governor Charlie Baker and Lt. Governor Karyn Polito participated in the signings of the final 350th and 351st Community Compacts with the Town of Wilbraham and the City of Boston. They also kicked-off and proclaimed May as Municipal Month in the Commonwealth which will serve as a platform for underlining the relationship between state and local governments through a series of grant announcements and community events.
“As former local officials, Lt. Governor Polito and I understand the importance of supporting our cities and towns and created the Community Compact program early in our administration to ensure that our partners at the local level would always have a seat at the table in this administration,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “Under the leadership of the Lt. Governor, who has crisscrossed every corner of the Commonwealth, we have served as a partner for municipalities and are committed to making Massachusetts the best place to live, work and raise a family.”
“Travelling across Massachusetts to meet, learn and partner with officials from each of the Commonwealth’s 351 cities and towns has been a tremendous experience and I am excited about our progress toward building stronger communities,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “I am thrilled to sign our final Community Compacts here today with Boston and Wilbraham and look forward to creating more opportunities, developing broader connections and bringing additional success to municipalities across the state as we kick off May as Municipal Month.”
The Community Compact Cabinet’s three grant programs – Best Practices, Efficiency and Regionalization, and IT – have served as engines for improving local services in all 351 cities and towns across Massachusetts. The 351 municipalities have chosen a total of 835 best practices, which include financial management, climate resiliency, and sustainable development and land protection. Over 50 municipalities have applied for a 2nd round Compact. The IT grant program focuses on driving innovation and transformation at the local level via investments in technology, and in the last two years, 99 grants totaling $4 million were awarded to 134 municipalities. The Efficiency and Regionalization grant program provides financial support for governmental entities interested in implementing regionalization and other efficiency initiatives that allow for long-term sustainability, and over the last two fiscal years, $4 million in grants have been awarded to more than 220 municipalities and school districts.
These programs have led to more than:
· 120 municipalities that will strengthen their financial operations
· 100 municipalities that will be better prepared for economic success
· 100 municipalities that will enhance their IT systems and use IT to improve transparency and service delivery
· 80 municipalities that will explore regionalizing and/or sharing services
· 80 municipalities that will become greener communities
· 70 municipalities that will improve local transportation
· 20 municipalities that will modernize various human resources components
"Engaging with the Community Compact allows Wilbraham to partner with the state to document best financial management practices and also to explore extending broadband along our commercial corridor to enhance economic development," said Wilbraham Selectman Susan C. Bunnell.
The City of Boston adopted the Regionalization/Shared services, Climate Change Mitigation and Transportation Best Practices to support a work plan for a Regional Compact Coordinator for the Greater Boston Regional Economic Compact (GBREC), to mitigate climate change and to participate in MassDOT’s Complete Streets program. The Town of Wilbraham adopted the Technology and Financial Management Best Practices to explore options to improve and expand commercial broadband and develop sound financial policies and practices.
“The Baker-Polito Administration is to be congratulated for the Community Compact program, its signature approach to governing by engaging all cities and towns as partners,”said Littleton Town Administrator Keith Bergman, who serves also as President of the Metropolitan Area Planning Council. "Littleton is proud to be part of the first regional Community Compact—along with Acton, Boxborough, Maynard, and Westford— for our CrossTown Connect Transportation Management Association. We are grateful for the efforts of MassDOT, the MBTA, MassDevelopment, and the Montachusett and Lowell regional transit authorities to help us improve reverse commute and first mile / last mile services on the Fitchburg commuter rail line to better address the transportation needs of those who live and work in our communities.”
“Representing the Gateway Hilltown Collaborative at today’s Community Compact Celebration, I’d like to express my sincere thanks to Governor Baker and Lt. Governor Polito for their leadership and vision to bring Commonwealth cities and towns together to discuss best practices and the sharing of resources,” said Andrew Myers of the Hilltown Collaborative. “The administration’s willingness to provide start-up funds for these activities has provided the Gateway Hilltowns the boost we needed to create achievable economic development. We have turned the corner to a brighter future!”
“The Community Compact allowed us to institute the 311 Constituent Services program which, thus far, has helped to expedite more than 30,000 constituent requests,” said Mayor James J. Fiorentini on Community Compact.
"Municipal Month is more than a celebration of the great work of cities and towns, it is a reminder that our economy and quality of life depends on a true partnership between local and state government," said MMA Executive Director Geoff Beckwith. "Community leaders deeply appreciate Governor Baker, Lt. Governor Polito, and the members of the Legislature, for embracing this partnership. Municipal Month will highlight the powerful message that the best way to make progress on the big issues and challenges of today is to do this work together."
As part of May as Municipal Month in the Commonwealth, Lt. Governor Polito today hosted a meeting of city mayors and town managers to discuss the Community Compact Program. She will also convene a meeting of the Community Compact Cabinet, participate in the Local Government Advisory Commission Meeting and the Government Finance Officers Association Annual Meeting. During Municipal Month, the Administration will make an announcement relative to the Housing Choice initiative and its first round of designees, an announcement regarding the Administration’s trails program, award the new round of Community Compact IT Grant, and the Lt. Governor will visit communities involved in the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness program.
Formed in January 2015, the Community Compact Cabinet is chaired by Lt. Governor Polito and comprised of the secretaries of Housing & Economic Development, Education, Transportation, and Energy & Environmental Affairs, the Senior Deputy Commissioner of Local Services, the Assistant Secretary of Operational Services, and the Chief Information Officer of the Commonwealth. The Community Compact Cabinet elevates the Administration’s partnerships with cities and towns, and allows the Governor’s Office to work more closely with leaders from all municipalities. The Cabinet champions municipal interests across all executive secretariats and agencies, and develops, in consultation with cities and towns, mutual standards and best practices for both the state and municipalities. The creation of Community Compacts creates clear standards, expectations and accountability for both partners.

五一勞動節 華人前進會遊行為多項議題爭取關注
華人前進會組織遊行,爭取最低工資$15。(圖由華人前進會提供) |
(Boston Orange)華人前進會在五一勞動節這天組織群,到東波士頓,雀喜市(Chelsea),艾佛瑞(Everett)市等地遊行,呼籲社會大眾反對種族歧視,保護移民,投資教育,支持最低工資$15。
遊行活動還有波士頓綠色正義聯盟參加,指出五一勞動節也是全球哮喘病日,促請民眾關注氣候變化和空氣汙染對社區的影響。
華人前進會在一篇說明稿中指出,五一勞動節是向全世界勞工致敬的日子,選擇這天遊行,是希望更多關注勞工階層移民和有色人種民眾為追求美國夢移民而來,卻未得到應有的工作待遇與福利,也驚詫發現美國境內貧富差距之大。
根據美國聯邦儲備銀行數據,美國境內最富有的5%人口所擁有的財富,比其他95%加起來還多,美國境內最窮的40%人口,資不抵債。
華人前進會認為,貧苦人家更容易受到經濟衰退及房屋危機的打擊,造成了貧窮的惡性循環。該會自創為以來就以維護勞工階層基本權益為主要宗旨,近年致力爭取把最低工資提高至$15,呼籲關注移民權益,加徵富裕人士稅賦。
由於今年是酒店工人和都是家護工人與工會的合約到期年,他們呼籲不同種族及社區組織和工會在全國公會都備受打擊之際,要團結一致。
