BOSTON-After more than three years in the making, the city has finally unveiled the Roxbury Strategic Master Plan–its vision for the neighborhood. The plan outlines strategies for growth including developing seven large parcels that are located throughout the neighborhood.

The planning process, which was led in part by the Boston Redevelopment Authority, the Roxbury Neighborhood Council and local state legislators, focuses on specific issues such as economic development, traffic and transportation improvements, job creation and urban design concepts.

Meredith Baumann, spokesperson for the BRA, tells GlobeSt.com that the impetus for the plan was the realization that the neighborhood needed a community-based plan to help it navigate its future, especially after the area was rezoned on 1989. “The city felt it was in the neighborhood’s best interest to sit with the community and come up with a shared vision,” she notes. Baumann says that one of the major components of the plan is a 15-person oversight committee that will be created to see that the plan is implemented and its goals achieved.
