Activate Mattapan square. Mattapan square has all the parking and retail space to be a thriving neighborhood hub. But it needs to be activated! It would be great to see Mattapan Square get a facelife with free retail facia upgrades, foodtrucks djs...
Who it helps and why
By reinvesting into Boston's least invested in neighborhood. My family has lived in Mattapan for over 20 years. I got my first bank account at the BOA branch in Mattapan square.

Let's make Mattapan square a crown jewel of Boston that says "we care about our black neighborhoods."
