Uncategorized 2026-07-22 clip9080 · Meeting of July 22, 2026

Boston's Property and Facilities Commission approved five land-transfer and conveyance votes July 22, moving city-owned vacant parcels in Nubian Square, Roxbury, Hyde Park, and Dorchester toward affordable housing development, conservation use, and private ownership. The two-member commission — Commissioner Memoli and Commissioner Pendleton — acted after entering a conflict-of-interest disclosure from Memoli, an employee of the city's Economic Development and Industrial Corporation, and invoking the rule of necessity to constitute a quorum. The five votes included a $1 conveyance of 9,800 square feet of forested Roxbury land to the Suffolk County Conservation District for permanent protection as an urban wild; a $200 conveyance in Hyde Park where Norfolk Design and Construction LLC, a certified MBE and veteran-owned firm, will produce two deed-restricted affordable for-sale units; a $103,500 sale of two Dorchester lots that have sat in city inventory for a combined 70 years; and a $5,000 tentative developer designation for Norfolk on five scattered Dorchester and Roxbury sites expected to yield nine new affordable units, generating an estimated 15,487 construction hours.

All five votes were approved unanimously.
