As a community, we are coming together to decide how we want to spend our shared investment dollars in 2018, and to set standards that will guide development in our communities moving forward!

We will strategize together: 

  • How can we pool our collective resources, both capital and community resources, to invest in each other and the Blue Hill Corridor we want and need?
  • What are the local businesses we love and want to support, businesses we need, and businesses we want to replace?
  • What are our shared values and priorities for where we will actually invest our resources and energy in retail, real estate, and infrastructure along Blue Hill?

Stay tuned for more details, and feel free to send questions to info@ujimaboston.com.
