Beginning Tuesday, March 24, City Hall will only be open for critical services. During this time, we are asking the public to reach out to the BPDA at 617.722.4300 or through our website to be directed to the appropriate staff member. While public meetings are currently postponed until further notice, BPDA staff is working remotely and internal review of projects and planning studies is continuing.

If you are a landlord or tenant of the BPDA's housing program, please visit the BPDA's housing page for information and resources.

The BPDA is postponing all BPDA-hosted public meetings regarding Article 80 development projects and planning studies until further notice. While projects will continue to be reviewed internally by BPDA staff, the public review process for both Article 80 development projects and the BPDA's planning studies is on hold until public meetings can be resumed. Open comment periods will be extended until the public review process for Article 80 development projects resumes.

At this time, this excludes monthly BPDA Board Meetings, Boston Zoning Commission meetings, and Boston Civic Design Commission Monthly Commission meetings due to regulatory and statutory requirements. Extra precautions will be taken during these meetings to encourage social distancing. Only projects that have previously completed their public process or items that do not require a public process would be eligible to be brought to the Board.

To ensure that our public process is equitable to all, the BPDA will not be holding virtual public meetings for Article 80 projects or planning studies at this time. We recommend that stakeholders with access to online resources engage in the public process through our website where materials for Article 80 projects and planning studies are posted.
