Boston Public Facilities Commission unanimously approved all seven Department of Neighborhood Development property votes at its July 22 meeting, transferring long-vacant city-owned parcels in Dorchester, Roxbury, South Boston, and the South End to community organizations and developers for $100 each. Commissioners Larry Momoli and Dionne Irish approved tentative developer designations for a 12-unit affordable condominium project by Urbanica Incorporated at 405 Washington Street in Dorchester — expected to generate an estimated $36,000 in first-year tax revenue — a healing forest by Codman Academy Foundation at 45 Norfolk Street, a playground preservation by the Sonoma Maple Schuller Tenants Association at 84 Maple Street in Roxbury, and a community land trust for the Urban Farming Institute at an Akron Street parcel in Roxbury. The commission also approved final conveyances to the Boston Food Forest Coalition for a 21,000-square-foot Savin Hill Avenue parcel and to the Bernard Place Park Corporation for 603R East 2nd Street in South Boston, which has already secured a preliminary $150,000 Community Preservation Act award for a park featuring pollinator plantings and a bocce court.

A seventh vote transferred a 5,000-square-foot Windsor Street parcel in the South End from the Public Works Department to DND for a future disposition process.
