About

This study of cultural, civic, educational and non-profit uses for “Facilities of Public Accommodation” (FPAs) is one part of the Boston Redevelopment Authority’s multi-pronged effort to activate Boston’s waterfront. The Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) is leading this initiative to understand how FPA space is meeting the ultimate goal to avoid privatization of the waterfront and ensure physical and visual enjoyment by all. This study comes at a time when the BRA and other waterfront advocates seek to understand the suitability of FPAs in each waterfront neighborhood and how FPAs can contribute to a city-wide waterfront engaged with people, events, and user-friendly spaces.
