Members of the Accordia team participated in the August Harbor Point meeting to provide an update to residents on the Dorchester Bay City project.
Nearly 50 Harbor Point residents of all ages attended. DBC updates included the state of the development process and early plans for connecting the Dorchester neighborhood to the job opportunities the project will create.
Much of the meeting focused on getting feedback from the Harbor Point community members, listening to their needs, as well as their hope and vision of the project.
They asked questions about a range of topics from the arts, youth programming, job training, transportation, and resiliency.
Harbor Point is considered one of the most thriving mixed-income communities in the country. As DBC’s closest neighbor and abutter, it’s a priority for the Accordia team to address any concerns they might have.
Accordia Partners has met with Harbor Point several times and is planning additional meetings in the coming months. We’re planning a larger public meeting in September, as well as community focus groups about the project’s community space and potential partnership with the neighboring institutions.
