Dear Neighbor,
FPNA and the West Broadway Neighborhood Association (WBNA) started collaborating with Boston University’s Initiative on Cities in September 2024 to explore alternative ideas for the redevelopment of the 30+ acre P&G Gillette Manufacturing site.
Last fall, students from BU’s Urban Research Methods course (MET UA 703) conducted a study on the existing conditions of the site and surrounding neighborhood.
This spring, students in the Urban Studies Capstone course (MET UA 805) are developing a neighborhood vision plan to help guide community discussions with Gillette.
As part of this effort, FPNA and WBNA are hosting an in-person community workshop where neighbors can share their thoughts on desired amenities and activities on:
Monday, April 7, 2025
6:30pm
CRISPR building
105 West First Street
Feedback from this workshop will directly inform the three proposals the BU Grad Team is preparing.
We encourage all neighbors to attend and contribute to this important discussion. Your input will help shape the future of this significant site!
