A group of Jamaica Plain neighbors are working to get landmark status of a Kenton Road house before it’s demolished by a new owner.
The Boston Planning & Development Agency board recently approved a three-story, 21-unit rental residential building for Stedman Street.
Twenty-three years ago the then president of the Jamaica Plain Historical Society, Rhea Becker, had an idea. Why not conduct a series of walking tours during the summer months as a way to highlight the rich history of JP for people? The JPHS has been conducting historic walking tours of Jamaica Plain tours ever since.
Several local community and business groups will hold a meeting Wednesday morning to encourage the city to “even the playing field” for small business owners.
The meeting was called by leaders from JP Local First, Egleston Square Main Street, City Life/Vida Urbana and the JP Neighborhood Development Corp. It will be at 10 a.m. at the Egleston Square YMCA, 3134 Washington St. Business owners are encouraged to attend.
