nextBRA website launches as agency looks to define its future

Jun 17, 2016

The agency that leads neighborhood planning efforts is turning to the public for some help with planning the future of the agency itself. The Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) and Continuum, a Boston-based global innovation design consultancy, have teamed up to launch a website that will provide residents the opportunity to participate in and stay up to date on the progress of Continuum’s work to envision a better BRA. Serving as a platform for information, updates, and public feedback, www.nextBRA.org will be one way that the BRA and Continuum engage with community members over the next three months.

The website outlines the goals and phases of the initiative, as well as information about the key people involved in improving Boston’s planning and economic development agency. An updates section, which currently features posts about a recent BRA-Continuum kick-off meeting and two development projects that the consultant team is tracking as case studies, will function as a repository for news.
 
People are encouraged to visit the site regularly for updates and to join the conversation on Twitter using hashtag #nextBRA. There will be opportunities for the public to inform this work (both in-person and online) throughout the process, as Continuum’s team immerses itself in all that the BRA does.
