The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Fields Corner is in desperate need of a multi use space to provide programming to area youth. This space would include a gym, classrooms and a teaching kitchen. There currently is nothing in this area that addressed that need.
Who it helps and why
The past few decades have shown a lack of resources for the community surrounding Town Field Park. While the surrounding neighborhoods are flourishing with high priced home ownership, the resources to accompany this exponential growth are scarce. There are numerous non profits who are ready to provide programming if such a opportunity were to present itself.
