We are grateful to the City of Boston's Community Preservation Act for supporting our work and funding the new playground (which finished construction at the end of 2023!) at our Cote Village development, in partnership with Caribbean Integration Community Development, Inc., in Mattapan. We are thrilled for kids both at our development, and throughout the neighborhood, to enjoy the playground! POUA also sends a huge thanks to our team for getting this project done: F & L Landscaping Corporation, UltiPlay Parks & Playgrounds, Kenny G Fencing, and our lead Lanscape Architect Rebecca Bachand.
POUA and our partner Caribbean Integration Community Development were thrilled to celebrate the ribbon cutting of Morton Station Village in Mattapan, 40 units of mixed-income, mixed-tenure housing — 28 rental apartments and 12 affordable homeownership units — for a diverse range of households, with incomes from 30% AMI to 100% AMI. The housing development sits next to the Morton Station MBTA Fairmount Line stop, and will contain significant community space that will be connected to a unique feature—the creation of a new passive Boston Parks’ Department-designed public space to be known as the Steven P. Odom Serenity Garden, with funding provided by the City of Boston’s Community Preservation Act.
We were joined for the dedication by Cardinal Seán O'Malley, Secretary Ed Augustus, the Mayor’s Office of Housing, State Senator Liz Miranda, State Representative Russell Holmes, State Representative Brandy Fluker Oakley, MassHousing, Community Economic Development Assistance Corporation, Bank of America, City Councilor Brian Worrell, team members and community members to celebrate the grand opening on November 3rd.
