Quincy OKs $3M to turn former college building into housing | Exclusive
Quincy has approved $3 million to turn a former Eastern Nazarene College building into 57 affordable apartments for people 55 and older. The Quincy Housing Authority Development Corp. ‒ the nonprofit arm of the Quincy Housing Authority ‒ requested the money from the city's Affordable Housing Trust Committee, which unanimously approved the request Nov. 10. The development corporation, which is buying the 27-acre campus for $21 million , will use the $3 million to completely renovate the Young Apartments, an existing structure on the campus, into 57 units of affordable housing for people ages 55 and older, James Marathas, executive director of the housing authority, told the committee during its previous meeting on Oct. 27. Marathas said the sale is scheduled to close Dec. 15, but crews are already on site to make repairs on the property and empty all the contents ENC left behind. He said he anticipates full construction will start the same day as the closing and that units will be ready for residents by fall 2027. How will the Young Apartments at ENC be renovated?

The rat problem is out of control
I have lived on Beacon Hill for many years but the rat infestation is now worse than ever. We have rat holes in our building’s front garden that neither baited boxes nor carbon monoxide seem to mitigate the problem. The rats are under cars, climbing onto car tires to escape from dogs, eating garden plants and without any fear of humans. In the October 22 meeting, City Councilor Flynn called for a rat Czar to be hired and held accountable for our City’s rat issue – Boston being amongst the 10 most rat-infested cities in America. At the meeting, residents spoke vociferously about trash being put out the night before for the nocturnal rodents to feast upon. (Yes, “feast” was the word most often used). Why are white lightweight kitchen bags permitted rather than steel bags? Barrels would be best but buildings don’t have the storage capability. Of significance, is that the City contract with Capital Waste Services has a 6 am scheduled pick up when most residents are still asleep. Why not change the city contract pick up time to 8 am and give violations for any overnight trash? Can the City not exercise their muscle to revise the next contract accordingly? Residents had many questions and were upset with the City’s lack of progress.

Just Across The River Is A Massachusetts City With Quaint Shops, Tasty Eats, And Quick Train Access Into Boston
Boston is home to one of the top five largest metro areas in the U.S. according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and that population sprawl extends into nearby communities that offer city amenities with a smaller town feel. Chelsea — which has a considerable immigrant population, mouthwatering food, and colorful storefronts — is one of those quaint cities. Part of what makes Chelsea so appealing is how easy it is to reach from Boston. In just a 10-minute train ride, visitors can immerse themselves in an entirely new city.
