State Funds Secured for New Community Center

Terrific news was recently announced by Rep Aaron Michlewitz and Mayor Michelle Wu relating to the development of a new community center adjacent to the Mirabella Pool on Commercial Street.

State funding to the tune of $25 million has been secured by Rep Michlewitz to build the needed new center, once completed, will replace the long-standing Nazzaro Community Center which will probably be sold by the city for some other use.

Construction is expected to start in the spring of 2023. Once completed, the neighborhood will have a state-of-the-art facility to enjoy for many years to come.

Some of the state funding will be used to upgrade the Nazzaro Community Center to continue programs and improve the structure of the facility ($5 million) until the new center is completed.

Both Mayor Wu and Rep Michlewitz are being praised for providing a much-needed community center in the neighborhood.
