"We’re especially excited about being selected because Melrose Commons is one of the only low-income urban renewal areas in the entire Pilot, which includes more than 200 projects across the country. We are confident that Melrose Commons will be certified because, from the start, the Urban Renewal Plan was committed to pedestrian-oriented mixed-use, mixed-income development, maintaining open space and incorporating sustainable design and construction techniques.
