It’s easy to forget that this event doesn’t just materialize from the ether. Men and women— led in recent years by Kelly Walsh— spend countless hours organizing the parade and the events that are necessary to help fund it. The effort is particularly intense from March to May, when the committee really gears up. From the pot-luck style chili cook-off to the final dinner at Florian Hall to salute the chief marshal, there’s a ton of behind-the-scenes work going on to fill the Dot Day committee’s coffers, pay for the bands and the clean-up, and just generally make it all happen. A special shout-out goes to real estate agent Gretchen Haase, this year’s honorary “mayor” of Dorchester, who helped out mightily by raising $10,000 for the parade. John Schneiderman, the chief marshal of the parade, helped build a crowd for last Friday’s dinner at Florian.

Development. term, beginning with statewide regional economic development engagement sessions that launched last week and will continue next week in Boston. Gov. Charlie Baker often talks about “doing more of what works,” and this has been a guiding principle in our efforts to spur development across the com- monwealth. One of these tools getting the job done is the aptly named MassWorks program, which awards grants to municipalities for infrastructure projects that support housing and job growth. The program’s flexibility, reliance on collaboration with local leaders, and effectiveness in combining vital improvements with stimulating development exemplify our efforts to get the most out of government. The flexibility of tools like MassWorks has allowed our administration to respond promptly to community needs and opportunities. Our administration has been proud to award over $27 million in MassWorks funding to communities throughout Boston since 2015 to support projects that enable continued growth in our capital city. In Dorchester, the administration made a $1.2 million infrastructure award that enabled the redevelopment of South Bay Shopping Center, leveraging $200 million in private investment to build 475 housing units and 130,000 square feet of restaurant, retail, and commercial space. In April of this year, Gov. Baker announced $6.5 million for three Boston projects, including $2.25 million for infrastructure upgrades that support Indigo Block, a transit-oriented development that will create 80 affordable units and 9 market rate condos near the Uphams Corner Station on the Fairmount/ Indigo line. The award will also help link existing neighborhoods with additional sidewalks and paving. Since 2015, we have awarded $357 million to 176 shovel-ready projects in 129 communities, improved crumbling infrastructure, and delivered over 29,000 jobs, 11,000 housing units, and 2 million square feet of commercial and retail space.
