BU's Metrobridge Initiative on Cities Program Releases Gillette Site Existing Conditions Analysis

The Fort Point Neighborhood Association (FPNA) in collaboration with the West Broadway Neighborhood Association has partnered with Boston University first via their Metrobridge Initiative on Cities Program to support the community as we prepare to engage the City of Boston and Procter & Gamble in discussions about the redevelopment of the 31-acre Gillette manufacturing site in our neighborhood

The first phase focused on documenting the existing conditions of the redevelopment site and collecting preliminary data from a range of sources, including neighbors at last November's Help Shape The Future Of The Neighborhood event. View the Existing Conditions Analysis of the Gillette Redevelopment Site report from BU's Urban Research Methods graduate students.

We are now building upon this foundation with a BU Capstone project aimed at generating ideas for the site’s future.
