Community Development

Project RIGHT, Inc. and member organizations continue to participate in the city and community partnership known as the Blue Hill Avenue Initiative Task Force. We anticipate the ground-breaking on several million dollars of investment in housing and commercial development from Quincy Street to Geneva Avenue by October 2004.

Project RIGHT, Inc. and our member organizations will continue to identify small development projects on public and private parcels of land to advocate for action with our public and private partners. We have already completed the neighborhood process for a number of totlots, open space, housing renovation and commercial development projects.

Green Space Improvements

Green Space improvements have been undertaken in very recent years to a number of areas within Grove Hall with the advocacy and expertise of Project RIGHT, Inc. staff, the membership, and resident volunteers. Green Space improvements have occurred with:

The Holborn Street tot lot built and designed, a few years ago at an approximate cost of over $300,000,00, with the advocacy of the Holborn, Gannett, Gaston, Otisfield Betterment Association.
Pudding Stone Park (corner of Seaver Street and Blue Hill Avenue) renovation almost completely done by the efforts of the residents of the Pasadena, Supple, Columbia Road Neighborhood Association.
The Intervale Street tot lot is currently being completely rebuilt with the advocacy and design work by the Intervale/Normandy Street Residents Association.
The complete renovation of the schoolyard at the Trotter Elementary School with the assistance of the school personnel, parents, and the advocacy of the Garrison Trotter Neighborhood Association.
The complete renovation of the schoolyard at the Quincy E. Dickerman School with the assistance of school personnel, parents, Project RIGHT, Inc. staff support, and the assistance and expertise of one of our Board Members.
The building of new space on Crawford Street that will provide green space to over 250 people at any time during Spring, Summer, and Fall by the Crawford, Howland, Ruthven, Wenonah, Waumbeck BlockWatch Association and the Garrison Trotter Neighborhood Association (under the Roxbury Hill’s Land Trust).

We are currently working towards the complete renovation of an existing park on the corner of Quincy Street and Blue Hill Avenue.

“We believe that neighborhood stabilization and family preservation are the ultimate solution to the current challenges faced in our communities.”
