City Announces Grand Opening of Neighborhood Revitalization Projects
Mayor Patrick M. Keefe Jr. and city officials invite residents to a triple ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, May 8, celebrating the completion of several high-profile public space projects in the Shirley Avenue neighborhood.
The event kicks off at 10 a.m. and will run until 12 p.m., beginning at the new Fitzhenry Dog Park located at 24 Fitzhenry Sq. (near Atlas Auto Body). Following the initial ceremony, the group will tour the brand-new Flaherty Square and the Shirley Avenue Urban Forest pocket park. These projects represent a significant investment in the revitalization and greening of one of the city’s most vibrant residential corridors.
The development of these spaces was supported by a variety of funding sources and community partners, including:
• Commonwealth Places
• DCR’s Greening the Gateways
• MassDevelopment Housing Choice
• Community Development Block Grant
• Ward 2 CIT Funds
• State Earmark
Special recognition is extended to The Neighborhood Developers for their partnership, alongside Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky, in bringing these community assets to fruition. All members of the public are encouraged to attend and explore the new amenities.
