Public meeting on Roslindale substation – Thursday, August 19

Filed Under Live, Work | Leave a Comment

roslindale substation buildingThe Boston Redevelopment Authority, owner of the 1911 red brick substationat Washington Street and Cummins Highway, will hold a public meeting onThursday, August 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the Roslindale Community Center. At the meeting, the BRA will present a proposal to grant two nonprofit entities (Historic Boston Incorporated and Roslindale Village Main Street) an interim designation to promote redevelopment of the long vacant structure.

HBI and RVMS funded a feasibility study of the building’s redevelopment in 2002. That study led the MBTA to sell the vacant property to the BRA to
facilitate development. The building has stood vacant for several decades. The
BRA’s recent request for development proposals from private developers did not
yield any proposals that satisfied the BRA’s requirements. With their
longstanding interest in preserving the vacant historic structure, HBI
and RVMS seek to continue exploring viable redevelopment options over the
next year.
