Earlier this month, Mayor Martin Walsh and the City of Boston Community Preservation Committee (CPC) announced their recommendation to fund five projects in Jamaica Plain through the latest round of Community Preservation Act (CPA) funding.
The projects in Jamaica Plain join 62 other projects citywide totaling over $25.5 million in grants through the current funding round.
Under Historic Preservation $90,000 will go to the Loring Greenough House, $250,000 will go to the Bethel AME Church, $150,000 will go to the St. John’s Episcopal Church and $100,000 to the 1856 First Baptist Church. Under Open Space $300,000 will go to the Jackson Square Redevelopment Initiative Greenway.
Walsh’s recommendation, the proposed projects have been filed with the Boston City Council for a vote of approval. Projects supported with Community Preservation Act funding must create or preserve affordable housing, historic sites, or open space and recreation.
