BRA Releases RFP For 150,000-SF Parcel Through Mayor's Back Streets Program

BOSTON-As part of city Mayor Thomas M. Menino’s new economic development initiative–called the Back Streets program–the Boston Redevelopment Authority has released a request for proposal to develop an 83,000-sf building on a 150,000-sf parcel here.

The program was developed to retain and grow the city’s small and mid-sized industrial and commercial businesses. According to a released statement, these companies provide the city with over 100,000 jobs and the program will provide these companies with financial help, technical assistance and general support to enable them to remain in the city and weather the economic slowdown.
