Update on Boston Arts Academy relocation to Chinatown
The past year rumors have floated about Boston Arts Academy’s intentions to relocate to a site adjacent to the former Don Bosco school (now occupied by the Chinatown YMCA and Double Tree Hotel). This blog has been following the progress of these rumors since October 2007. Nothing has been publicly stated by the school or the City. However, a meeting was held recently by the City confirming plans to relocate the school to the site.
Word on the street is that a meeting was arranged by the City with “interested” parties. This “invite-only” meeting was attended by a City Councilor, the Boston Redevelopment Authority, a representative from the City’s Inter-Agency Affairs, the Boston Arts Academy, and the Boston Public School. The City is exploring options to relocate the Boston Arts Academy to the parcel known as P12 and to integrate a library on the site.
In the coming months, there will be further talks (and backroom deals) but this is the first time the City and school has confirmed their intentions to the Chinatown community.
